A journey to truly understanding observability - Edinburgh Branch
Event Information
Description
Recent innovations in tooling for operations has been driven by by the last ten years of growing DevOps adoption. DevOps speeds up feedback loops, delivers value faster, and shortens time to validate before release while simultaneously tricking us into thinking we still can test everything in a CD pipeline.
Observability had emerged as a technique to handle the reality of real customer use cases like global traffic or malformed historical data that will always uncover new understanding about our systems in production. This talk is Abby's journey into experiencing the sometimes academic sounding definition of an observable system.
