The Broader Business Applications of Telemetry Data
According to a recent study by Gartner, nearly 70% of corporate boards cite the impact of COVID-19 as the driving force for increased spending on IT and digital capabilities. As cloud computing becomes ubiquitous and digital transformation accelerates, the performance of software is being placed under a microscope that can’t be delivered by APM alone. In the post-COVID digital environment, enterprises and their engineering teams won’t be able to drive true innovation without full-stack observability. With more than 20 years of experience driving transformative product, cultural and technical innovation for the leaders in DevOps (New Relic, Abode and Microsoft), Rey Perez will walk through what’s next in observability—how to make it simple, open, connected and programmable. His vision to embrace open source and open telemetry coupled with AIOps capabilities will allow developers to observe, visualize and troubleshoot from the top down.
