The Challenges and Importance of Tracing in Observability

So … what is observability? There's usually talk about metrics, logs, and traces, but it's more than just data and it's not simply configuring any one technology or tool. In our premiere episode, hosts Mat Ryer, Tom Wilkie, and Matt Toback dig into key components that help define a successful observability strategy, such as the USE and RED methods, SLO-driven alerting, cost-effective monitoring systems, and more. Added bonus: You'll learn how all of these concepts relate to Tom's impressive knowledge of cooking and the mother sauces.
