• About This Webinar

In this talk from Terazo's Head of Reliability Engineering Chris Bailey, we'll explore the application of observability principles to a company moving from legacy infrastructure to a modern solution. You will learn how making a system observable helps to go beyond the traditional role of monitoring and provide business insights, forecasting, and moreover – value.

• What You'll Learn

Starting with a fictional logistics company whose legacy infrastructure struggles, we'll work through designing a micro-services architecture that seeks to solve their issues, and then instrument that new system using observability techniques.
See examples of when the relationship between the engineering and business organizations fell apart.
Define both observability and business value and the interlinked roles between engineering and "the business."
Look at the same company through two different lenses - one at the beginning of their observability journey and one at a much more mature point.
View life through the lens of an on-call engineer in both versions of this organization, so you can experience first-hand the difference.
Explain the methodologies to approach an "observability first" mindset within your own organization.

• About the Speaker

Chris Bailey believes that everything should be data-driven and won't stop relating his hobbies to observability, whether it's driving race cars, working on his pilot's license, or convincing his board gaming group to track plays and scores. He currently works as head of Reliability Engineering at Terazo where he works to create a culture of finding answers to questions that haven't been asked yet. He also helps organize DevOpsDays Raleigh and the Triangle DevOps Meetup group, with over 3300 members. He lives in Durham, North Carolina with his dog, Ferdinand - who also helped write this bio.
