Is It Already Time to Version Observability? - SREcon24 Americas

Explore the evolution of observability in complex systems through this 39-minute conference talk from SREcon24 Americas. Delve into the generational shift in observability, moving beyond debates about pillars, cardinality, metrics, and dashboards. Examine the recent changes in data types, usability, workflows, and cost models that have led to a significant leap in value for users. Understand the concept of Observability 2.0 and how it represents a breaking, backwards-incompatible change from its predecessor. Learn about the technical and sociotechnical characteristics of each generation of observability tooling, and discover concrete steps to advance or improve your observability practices. Gain insights into how the increasing complexity of systems is driving these changes and why they cannot be ignored in modern software engineering and operations.
