Cloud Native Los Angeles: Observability-as-a-Service (slides)

As mentioned previously, Graziano Casto and I presented an online session for the Cloud Native Los Angeles meetup. We shared our thoughts on the subject of Observability-as-a-Service as related to when Platform Engineering and SRE teams work together. 

The CNCF's Los Angeles (LA) community group represents the LA cloud native community and aims to promote and champion CNCF and open source technology as well as help network and collaborate. To that end, we are contributing whole heartedly!

By combining our personal experiences and expertise in Platform Engineering and Cloud Native Observability, we think this session provides good insights into how one can leverage the two disciplines to better our developer team's experiences.

We had a small live audience, but the talk was recorded, so I'm sharing our slide deck, the talk abstract, and the recording when it's available.

We presented the following, providing a blueprint that might help you marry two worlds that often work separately in organizations, but were made to exist in complementary fashion. Each has strengths that can help the other and at the end of the day, our developer teams win. 

Here are the slides we used:

And for completeness, the talk title and abstract.

Observability-as-a-Service: When Platform Engineers and SREs Join Forces

Observability shouldn’t feel like quicksand—learn how to build Observability-as-a-Service into your Internal Developer Platform (IDP) from day one. This talk explores how developer platforms + observability create paved paths for seamless tooling adoption, reduce complexity, and help teams stay ahead of system telemetry.

Thanks to those that attended live and asked questions, appreciated the engagement!
