Is too much data making your job harder? #youtubeshorts #dataanalytics #observability

What happens when capturing vast amounts of data becomes overwhelming instead of insightful? For years, vendors have prioritized collecting vast metrics, boasting thousands of data points. But is this approach beneficial, especially for developers who may not be observability experts? Understanding metrics shouldn't feel like deciphering a foreign language. Coroot is an open source observability platform that helps engineers fix service outages and even prevent them. It continuously audits telemetry data to highlight issues and weak spots in your services.

Apdex in Honeycomb

“How is my app performing?” is one of the most common, yet hardest questions to answer. There are myriad ways to measure this, like error rate, average response time, and so on. Enter the Application Performance Index (aka Apdex), a single metric that attempts to answer, “Are my application’s users happy?” Apdex is an open standard that was formalized in 2005 by the Apdex Alliance.

Unlocking Full Stack Visibility: How SolarWinds Observability Enhances Cloud Integration

Resolving an incident before end users are impacted is the new standard, but managing separate observability and incident management solutions is tempting fate. You are at risk of an issue slipping through the cracks. It's time to consolidate, streamline, and decomplexify your operations. Hybrid Cloud Observability combined with SolarWinds Observability and SolarWinds Service Desk make all of this much, much easier.

Monitoring, Observability, & Debuggability Explained

Monitoring tools are great at letting you know when something is broken and the overall impact. We should know, we make an error monitoring tool. Observability tools are good for well, observing. But here’s the thing, you (we) don’t observe code. We (you) push code. So what the collective “we” need is a tool that makes it easy to ship, improve, and maintain reliable and performant code.
