In this talk, Chris Bailey will pull the curtain back on building a modern observability platform, warts and all. He will talk through the considerations before even getting started, the pitfalls and gotchas encountered along the way, and the best way to sell the value of comprehensive monitoring, alerting and logging back to the business. At the end of this talk, you should have a good foundation for starting the journey toward your own observability platform. --- Chris Bailey is the head of DevOps at AdvisorEngine, organizer of the Triangle DevOps Meetup group, co-host of Setup for Failure, a podcast about DevOps, an organizer of DevOpsDays Raleigh, and a member of the Opensource.com DevOps team. --- Food and drink provided by Hays.
