Is It Time to Version Observability? Moving Towards Observability 2.0

Explore the evolution of observability in software engineering through this conference talk delivered at GOTO Amsterdam 2024. Delve into the concept of Observability 2.0 and its implications for modern development practices. Learn how this new approach can help engineering teams create faster feedback loops, improve debugging processes, and optimize cost models. Discover strategies for transitioning from basic metrics-driven telemetry to more advanced observability techniques. Gain insights on how embracing this paradigm shift can lead to building better software with fewer resources and creating highly granular visibility across entire systems. Understand the limitations of traditional metrics and the benefits of adopting observability-driven development in the post-DevOps era.
