The document discusses the challenges organizations face with cloud-native observability, highlighting that over 66% use multiple tools and struggle with data volume costs. It emphasizes the difficulties in cultivating a culture focused on monitoring and metrics among developers, with significant time spent on incident triaging affecting personal lives. The proposed solution is a dedicated observability platform that streamlines data collection and enhances insights for user environments.

“It’s remarkable how common
this situation is, where an
organization is paying more for
their observability data, than
they do for their production
infrastructure.”

The struggle is real
“I don't yet collect spans/traces because I can hardly get our devs to care about basic metrics, let alone
traces.”
“This is a large enterprise with approx. 1000 developers. Cultivating a culture of engineering that cares
about availability is a challenge that we need to solve alongside any technical implementations.”
