We often see development teams having difficulty striking the right balance between different kinds of monitoring, focusing on observability primarily in terms of technical metrics like error rate. Technical metrics are helpful but might not tell the whole story. Quadrant 3: Business Metrics. Conclusion.

In the context of software development, particularly with observability 1.0’s s favorite three buzzwords (logs, metrics, and traces), we can draw several analogies to understand software development and debugging. This concept parallels the unnoticed or ignored bugs and system flaws in software development.

The pressure on today’s development teams is real: innovate, release quickly, and then do it all again, only faster. Is it any surprise that studies are showing 83% of software developers are feeling burnout? Think of observability as the best gift organizations can give to developers (and, ultimately, to their bottom lines).

For many developers, unit tests and integration tests are often top of mind. When developers write code as loosely-coupled modules — as it usually should be — the components rely on explicit contracts for how they interact. It is worth spending some time incorporating this type of testing into your software development process.

Any significant shift in an organization’s software engineering culture has the potential to feel tectonic, and observability (o11y for short)—or more specifically, Observability Driven Development —is no different. Develop a hypothesis around why performance is being impacted. Gather data around your hypothesis.

Being on the leading-edge of software development requires quality observability insights, and the company wanted a new partner that could support their engineering charter for continual improvement and growth. Amperity’s observability depended on a suite of tools for logs, metrics, and dashboards. The challenge?

Platform engineering can help organizations reduce cognitive load for development teams, and create a significant improvement in developer experience (DevEx) as well as several other areas. Don’t treat metrics as an afterthought; start measuring the usage of the platform and how it contributes to your goals from the beginning.
