The latest News and Information on Observabilty for complex systems and related technologies.

Don't observe. Debug.

The term “observability” is a strange one. We understand its value as a way to describe a sophisticated approach to monitoring complex distributed systems and microservices. But the term is inherently passive (and let’s be honest. It’s a bit of a loaded marketing term). Simply “observing” doesn’t help you solve problems – especially if you are inundated with loads of non-actionable data.

The Secret to Enterprise Observability: Automation & Configuration Management

Computing environments are more dynamic, distributed, and complex than ever. Observability tools help collect, monitor, and interpret the data they generate — like logs, metrics, and traces — to give IT teams and leaders real-time insights that can help detect issues, troubleshoot solutions, and improve the reliability of their IT systems. But observability tools can’t do their job without a strong infrastructure foundation and the right tools to manage it.

Observability for LLMs

So, your company uses LLMs? You’re not the only ones. A survey by Gartner in October 2023 revealed that 55% of organizations were piloting or releasing generative AI projects, and it’s safe to assume that this number has increased since that survey was published. From personalized recommendations in e-commerce, to automated grading in education and fraud detection in finance, LLMs have helped many organizations level up.
