A queue quietly fills up overnight. Memory hits the configured watermark and RabbitMQ blocks all publishers. Your entire message pipeline freezes, and you discover the problem when users start complaining. This scenario repeats across thousands of production systems because teams don't monitor RabbitMQ properly. The broker exposes comprehensive metrics, but most engineers don't know which ones predict failures or how to track them.

Bringing Observability to Data

Nov 14, 2025 By Datadog In Datadog
While observability practices have evolved in recent years, they have largely focused on application services and infrastructure.

When data issues occur, the consequences can be far reaching, from poor product experiences to billing errors to misinformed AI outcomes. In this session, Jonathan Morin, Group Product Manager at Datadog, shares real-world examples of incidents and explains how data observability can address them, helping teams detect issues earlier, reduce costly downtime, and restore trust in their data.

APM vs Observability: What comes next?

Nov 13, 2025 By Leon Adato In Catchpoint
Remember how I said that blog was going to be my last entry on the topic of "APM vs Observability?" Well, it turns out I had a little more to say. I'd like to spend a few moments talking about the future of APM and Observability. I think it comes down to two major initiatives: AI and Open Telemetry. (NOTE: in this section, I'm using the word "observability" to refer to the discipline of monitoring and observability as a whole, rather than any specific tool, technique, or vendor-based solution.)
