A Day in the Life: Intelligent Observability at Work with DevOps
Thursday morning, and I’ve done some yoga, a ten-minute meditation and am at my desk in my hastily thrown up garden office with a mug of green tea by 08:30am.

Observability vs. Monitoring in DevOps
If you strip the buzzwords and TLAs from the definition of DevOps? You’ll find that the roles and tasks involved aim mostly for more uptime and less downtime in the SDLC (software development lifecycle). The first step to achieving that is becoming aware of downtime as it happens with the help of monitoring solutions. Only then can you respond and resolve the issue in a timely manner that minimizes the dreaded and expensive downtime of software development teams.
