Why Observability Matters - Christine Spang

The macro landscape in software has changed in the last decade—metrics, monitoring, unstructured logs, and alerting aren't enough to tell what our software is doing anymore. This opening keynote will focus on how we've achieved observability on the Nylas platform, using many concrete examples—and will show what observability means to us and where we're still lacking.

Such tools don’t provide redundancies, time-stamped audit trails and other elements needed for incident resolution.

That’s why companies require critical alerting to become aware of security incidents and immediately solve them for business continuity.

What tools do you have in place for tracking performance issues? Can you follow them back to their source?
