This article explains specifically how observability enables platform engineers to support development teams better which reducing ticket volume, cutting MTTR, enabling SLO ownership, and making microservice debugging something devs can do without escalating to you.

Internet Performance Monitoring: Understand Digital Experience from the User's Perspective

Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) provides end-to-end visibility into what happens between your infrastructure and your users, across networks and services you don’t own or control. The internet is your network now. Your apps live in the cloud, your users are everywhere, and the systems that deliver your applications and services to them use hundreds of providers, ISPs, and networks beyond your control. In practice, that means infrastructure monitoring is the foundation.

Speed with Confidence: Managing Delivery Risk in an AI-driven Development World

In the modern development landscape, we are seeing a shift in how work is managed. The rise of AI-assisted development and highly distributed teams means that work is moving faster than ever before.
