Driving Service Ownership with Distributed Tracing | Daniel 'spoons' Spoonhower | Conf42 SRE 2020
Daniel "Spoons" Spoonhower CTO & Co-Founder @ LightStep LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spoons/ While many organizations are rolling out Kubernetes, breaking up their monoliths, and adopting DevOps practices with the hope of increasing developer velocity and improving reliability, it’s not enough just to put these tools in the hands of developers: you’ve got to incentivize developers to use them. Service ownership provides these incentives, by holding teams accountable for metrics like the performance and reliability of their services as well as by giving them the agency to improve those metrics. In this talk, I’ll cover how distributed tracing can serve as the backbone of service ownership. For SRE teams that are setting standards for their organizations, it can help drive things like documentation, communication, on-call processes, and SLOs by providing a single source of truth for what’s happening across the entire application. For embedded SRE teams, it can also accelerate root cause analysis and make alerts more actionable by showing developers what’s changed – even if that change was a dozen services away. Throughout the talk, I’ll use examples drawn from more than a decade of experience with SRE teams in organizations big and small. — 🥇 Gold Sponsors: LightStep Google 🥈 Silver Sponsors: MayaData Aval Digital Labs Elastic The Pathwayz Group 🤝 Media Partner JetBrains — 0:00 Intro 0:35 Talk — Website 🚀🪐 https://www.conf42.com Reach out 📧📭 mark@conf42.com Conf42 Discord 🧑🤝🧑💬 https://discord.com/invite/dT6ZsFJ5ZM LinkedIn 👨💼💼 https://www.linkedin.com/company/49110720/ Twitter 🎵🐦https://twitter.com/conf42com Conf42Cast @ Spotify 🎧 https://tinyurl.com/bnyj6a8y
