Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates

7. I. From interest to lead to conversion
to cross selling to a review
8. Using the process of monitoring & response:
• Understood our target group
• We monitored relevant conversations
• Got a potential guest interested
• Converted the lead into a booking
• While, at the Hotel, we cross sold experiences at the restaurants
• Finally, got her to review us on Trip Advisor whilst she also referred us
to her friends in New York.
And this is just one such conversation!!
10. The focus for any luxury hospitality brand is to
customize experiences basis guest feedback.
And what better if we can do it in real time?!
While monitoring conversations around the Hotel, we respond with a
quicker turnaround time to the guests staying at the Hotel. This helps
customize the experience basis their feedback & gives them an experience
they absolutely love!!
12. There is nothing better than reaching out to a
customer when he would truly need you to.
We understand the guest/consumer’s need by understanding their
psychographics better, which we map to certain keywords.
In this case the idea was to promote the hotel’s ‘Day Use Room’ wherein
guests can stay for 6 hours at the Hotel anytime from 9 am to 9 pm; if
they have a flight to catch. We monitored conversations on Twitter
mentioning the airport & checkins on Foursquare. Apart from that we
also tried to understand typical behavior at the airport for a customer
whose flight gets delayed.
An example being - Food at the airport is typically considered bad so we
pitched to a client who was ‘eating crappy sandwiches’ at the airport and
successfully converted him.
14. Its always a good idea to reach out to anyone &
everyone talking about you – good or bad.
Because only when you take care of the negative’s,
will you add more positive’s!
We always make sure we don’t avoid any feedback even in cases where
the person is not directly talking to us since every conversation
influences brand perception & more so the negative ones. Responding
gives a chance to share our side of the story & as in the case above even
get’s a ‘bravo’!
