Monitoring Sucks
7

Data. We have data.

The wrong folks
monitor
11

developers do
monitoring
12

logic

For the wrong reasons
15
90% have
unmonitored failures
16
80% have un-
actioned alerts
17
33% monitor
reactively
18
Our tools don't scale
19
They're centralized
20
And not self-service
21
So why?
22
Well ... lots of

make horses magic
25
Change is slow
26
ROI isn't as obvious
Investment is expensive
Don't know what you don't know
27
But there is hope
28
