We are happy to announce our latest StackPod episode featuring guest Andreas Prins! With over five years of experience in different product management and product strategy roles, Andreas is currently the VP of product here at StackState.
Whether you’ve just started your observability journey or haven’t started one at all, Techstrong Research is here to help the industry gain insights into observability with their “Observability at the Speed of Innovation 2022” survey, sponsored by StackState. Techstrong Research, an industry analyst and consulting group focused on the business outcomes of disruptive technologies, is researching where organizations are in their observability journey.
Most Series A and B companies are born in the cloud. Instead of the traditional mainframe architecture, they use AWS, Kubernetes and the likes to run their production environments. While striving to do things faster and better, we must address the other side of the coin: How do you support the constant shifts inherent in these environments? Chaos engineering allows you to observe your environment continuously and reliably.
Properly leveraging telemetry is a true game-changer for any IT department looking to optimize and stabilize its systems. Telemetry provides the first step to answering the all-important question, “What’s happening in my network?” It’s your eye into the inner workings of your system, giving you a view into how different components are performing.
Having enough time available is a struggle we all experience. Technological innovations enable us to develop and deploy software at lightning speed: Sometimes we can push more to production than our organizations’ IT environments can handle. At the same time, we want to increase customer satisfaction by reducing downtime. But how are you going to keep customer satisfaction rates high if a large majority of incidents are caused by changes?
StackState competes in a crowded market, and “getting found” by potential customers is a major challenge. One of the tactics we initiated recently was to raise our profile on G2, a popular website focused on end-user reviews of many different categories of technology offerings.
OpenTelemetry has been getting a lot of attention in the observability field. Moreover, in StackState’s latest release, we added support for OpenTelemetry traces. Melcom van Eeden, software developer at StackState, was one of our developer champions who made this possible. In addition to joining us on this episode of StackPod, he wrote a blog post on how to leverage OpenTelemetry with StackState and he recorded a tutorial video about the topic.
