Principal Developer Advocate | Chronosphere

Paige Cruz is a Principal Developer Advocate at Chronosphere passionate about cultivating sustainable on-call practices and bringing folks their aha moment with observability.

She started as a software engineer at New Relic before switching to Site Reliability Engineering holding the pager for InVision, Lightstep, and Weedmaps. Off-the-clock you can find her spinning yarn, swooning over alpacas, or watching trash TV on Bravo.

We talked about the reality of OpenTelemetry and its role in observability; we discussed shift-left and network observability; we talked about best-of-breed point solutions versus single pane of glass. And, of course, the role of AI — both in how it can help with observability and how AI itself may need to be observed.
