“Observability for developers: How to get from here to there” with @cyen!

Unsurprisingly, one of the biggest triggers of of incidents is the act of generating change.

There are two waves to the DevOps. The first? Get ops to code. Second? Teaching devs to own their product in production.

#VelocityConf

We are getting into the differentiation between monitoring and observability. As @cyen puts it “Why is my system doing this thing and why isn’t it what we expect?”

On to Observability Driven Development!

So is that ODD, OdieD, or o11yDD?

#VelocityConf

What is OdieD? Using an understanding of how your code performs in the wild to inform development practices and ensuring that you have that visibility!

How do we get to a world where production is a natural “playground” for devs?

1 Get context for events in a structured manner
2 Get started with adding high cardinality data to events as they enter the system
3 Stop searching, start visualizing
4 Trace trace trace
