Brooke Sargent's session from Monitorama PDX 2023. Observability helps engineers understand the systems they build and work on, but as teams develop a practice of observability, it can also strengthen their team culture. This session tells the story of one platform engineering team’s observability adoption. Through this story, we will explore how observability creates a learning culture on software engineering teams, how it benefits different archetypes on the team, and how it enables onboarding new engineers and leveling up existing engineers more effectively
