Designing Observability and Monitoring as Platform Engineers

About the webinar

46% of the developers spend less than 20 hours per week on software development work [source]. A big chunk of the rest of the time goes to finding the information, which wastes time and adds cognitive load. Platform engineering reduces this cognitive load by providing everything they need in one place. Another way to reduce developers’ cognitive load and save time is to implement observability in your products and projects. Developers get a real-time view of application and infrastructure performance via logs, traces, & metrics, to name a few, allowing them to quickly address bottlenecks and make improvements to the application.

In this webinar, we’ll explore observability from a platform’s perspective, including how to monitor your platform and how platforms can enable proper monitoring of your applications and services. We’ll also look at Last9 and discover how observability helps gain visibility into infrastructure health to prevent downtime while reducing monitoring costs. Our guest will shed light on Observability as a Platform, its benefits, and how it aligns with platform engineering principles. In a Last9 demo, we will see how it ensures developers receive the right observability data when needed to improve their productivity.
