A full Observability stack has the goal of providing full centralized visibility to Development, Operations and Security teams into all of the Metrics, Logs and Traces generated by the applications and services under their domain. Many companies address these observability needs by buying a complete application performance management (APM) solution from a single vendor, like DataDog.

Global data, analytics and technology companies such as Equifax, and their Engineering teams, depend on log analytics for a variety of operational analytics use cases, from application troubleshooting to streamlining cloud operations and regulatory compliance management. ChaosSearch is uniquely positioned to help companies like Equifax significantly reduce the time, cost, and complexity of log analytics.

Leading a team of data and analytics professionals isn’t easy; it takes more than just understanding the goal. It’s about the journey and how the people on the journey collaborate. Wes Gelpi, Director of Research & Development at SAS, joins us in a special 2-part episode. Gelpi has a rich history of taking challenging situations and running with them.

Datadog has made a name for itself as a popular cloud-native application performance monitoring tool, measuring a system’s health and status based on the telemetry data it generates. This telemetry includes machine-generated data, such as logs, metrics and traces. Cloud based applications and infrastructure generate millions (even billions) of logs – and analyzing them can generate a wealth of insights for DevOps, security, product teams and more.
