Adriana Villela's session from Monitorama PDX 2023. Many organizations claim to be all in on Observability, when in fact, they are not really following Observability practices. Over the last couple of years, I've observed a number of Observability anti-patterns, and in this talk, I will discuss the following anti-patterns: - Traces not treated as a first-class citizen - The Wall ‘o Dashboards - Getting someone else to instrument your code - Belief that Observability Tooling == Observability - Observability theatre I will also discuss how to avoid these anti-patterns, in order for teams to unlock Observability’s superpowers.
