Keynote: Seeing Clearly in Today's Complex World

As modern applications become increasingly complex, with distributed architectures and intricate microservices, ensuring their smooth operation has become increasingly challenging. Calling on his almost 10 years experience working with companies, large and small, on their observability journey, Anthony will delve into this very issue, exploring how traditional monitoring approaches fall short in providing the necessary visibility and context. By introducing the concept of observability and its three pillars – logs, metrics, and traces – the talk will illuminate a more robust approach to understanding application behaviour. Ultimately, this talk will equip the audience with a clear understanding of why observability is no longer a luxury, but rather a critical practice for success in today's digital age.
