Bringing a product to market often involves a lot more than simply having a wonderful idea. Businesses need to navigate outsourcing, quality control, regulatory requirements as well as production. They even need to navigate customer expectations while remaining competitive as market demands continue to increase. For many companies, managing different aspects of production internally is not practical or even cost effective. As a result, the outsourcing of specialized manufacturing services has become a very common strategy across several different industries.

Data observability has traditionally been built around human workflows. When data breaks, engineers are alerted, open dashboards, inspect lineage graphs, and manually trace the issue across pipelines. The system is designed for human investigation and interpretation. That model is now being challenged by the rise of AI agents in data operations. As organizations begin embedding AI into analytics, engineering, and decision-making workflows, observability is no longer just about explaining what happened - it must also enable systems to understand and act on it.
