Observations and Observability: Enter the New Era Application Performance

Today, modern observability is still very much focused on the interplay of data to yield informed inputs and outputs of systems. Sprinkle in site reliability engineering (SRE), and there should be little to no performance issues in distributed systems, right? In an ideal world, yes, but in reality, there is still work to be done.

Agenda

• Practical steps and examples on leveraging observability to solve performance issues in distributed systems

• Challenges and best practices in achieving effective observability

• The evolving role of observability in modern software development
