I spoke with Ian Smith, Field CTO at Chronosphere, about cloud native observability, an emerging tech that’s gaining a lot of attention in the enterprise. Smith spoke in-depth about trends and best practices in observability.
An observability solution monitors a company’s IT infrastructure by constantly monitoring its outputs. In most cases, the most important outputs are those that track the performance of the core applications that enable the company to keep running.
Historically, this monitoring task has been handled by humans, and still is, largely. Yet as tech infrastructure grows ever more complex, humans need ever more help to keep up. Hence the growth of observability solutions.
