Under the Hood: An Introduction to Observability

Whether you write code or just use the systems that run it, something will go wrong one day, and when it does, the difference between a five‑minute fix and a five‑hour outage is whether you can see what's happening inside your platform.

In this session, Dan Riddell of Simplyhealth will demystify observability: what it actually means, why teams invest in it, and how the three pillars - metrics, logs, and traces, give you a window into your system’s health.

Expect a clear intro, practical examples, and a hands‑on workshop activity.
