We’re at the precipice of a massive generational shift in how we build and understand our software, and engineering teams need to prepare. In the past, telemetry focused on basic metrics: reliability, uptime, MTTR, MTTD. Observability 1.0. Companies that settle for these basic data points will struggle to keep up with modern development patterns, while hemorrhaging money. As engineering best practices around separating deploys from releases, testing in production, and observability-driven development have gone mainstream, the metrics-driven approach to telemetry has stalled, and it’s time for a new version: Observability 2.0. Learn what this new version means for your engineers, and how to embrace this breaking change to: • Save them from drowning in symptom-based alerting • Help fewer people work together to build better software • Create fast feedback loops throughout the entire organization through highly granular visibility into all their systems [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 00:47 Every company is now a tech company 04:57 Fast feedback loops 07:46 Brief history of observability 09:54 Observability 2.0 14:48 Meh-trics 17:36 Who uses it & how? 19:30 How you interact with production 20:44 How you debug 23:00 The cost model 30:07 What to do to move towards Observability 2.0 32:01 What got us here won't get us there 35:05 Outro Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotoams.nl/2024/sessions/3148 RECOMMENDED BOOKS Charity Majors, Liz Fong-Jones & George Miranda • Observability Engineering • https://amzn.to/38scbma Charity Majors & Laine Campbell • Database Reliability Engineering • https://amzn.to/3ujybdS Kelly Shortridge & Aaron Rinehart • Security Chaos Engineering • https://www.verica.io/sce-book Nora Jones & Casey Rosenthal • Chaos Engineering • https://amzn.to/3hUmuAH Russ Miles • Learning Chaos Engineering • https://amzn.to/3hCiUe8 Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble & Gene Kim • Accelerate • https://amzn.to/442Rep0 https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.instagram.com/goto_con https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #Observability #DevOps #PostDevOps #Reliability #MTTR #MTTD #ObservabilityEngineering #CharityMajors CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUS Join this channel to get early access to videos & other perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/join Looking for a unique learning experience?
