Pastries with SREs: Leveling up observability and donut dunkability

In this episode of Pastries with SREs, we explore what it really means to shift left with observability, moving from reactive firefighting to proactive performance. And yes, it starts with donuts.

We unpack how SREs and IT Ops teams are often stuck reacting to incidents, battling alert fatigue and swivel-chair triaging. But what if you could pull in developers earlier, and give everyone a unified view of observability data?

What you’ll learn:
Why reactive environments exhaust SREs (and you still miss root cause)
How developers currently use APM (and why that’s not enough)
Why unified observability platforms and democratized data change the game
The benefits of shifting left to bring devs into the loop earlier

By leveling up observability and collaboration, teams can reduce downtime, optimize performance, and fix issues at the source, before they impact users.

So yes, bring the devs more donuts. They’ve earned it.
