Rohit Choudhary, co-founder and CEO of Acceldata, placed an early bet on data observability, which has proven prescient. In a New Stack Makers podcast episode, Choudhary discussed three key insights that shaped his vision: First, the exponential growth of data in enterprises, further amplified by generative AI and large language models. Second, the rise of a multicloud and multitechnology environment, with a majority of companies adopting hybrid or multiple cloud strategies. Third, a shortage of engineering talent to manage increasingly complex data systems.
As data becomes more essential across industries, challenges in data observability have intensified. Choudhary highlights the complexity of tracking where data is produced, used, and its compliance requirements, especially with the surge in unstructured data. He emphasized that data's operational role in business decisions, marketing, and operations heightens the need for better traceability. Moving forward, traceability and the ability to manage the growing volume of alerts will become areas of hyper-focus for enterprises.
