Book Description

Observability can be implemented in multiple ways within an organization based on the organization’s needs. So, it’s crucial for organizations to decide whether they need observability and to what extent, what skills and tools will suit them, and how long will it take to implement it. Implementing Enterprise Observability for Success provides a step-by-step approach to help you create an observability strategy, understand the principles behind the creation of the strategy, and logical steps to plan and execute the implementation.

You’ll learn about observability fundamentals and challenges, the importance of data and analytics along with different tools. Further, you’ll discover the various layers from which data should be collected for setting up observability.

Through real- life examples distilled from the author's experience in implementing observability at an enterprise level, you’ll uncover some of the non-technical & technical drivers of observability like the culture of the organization, the hierarchy of stakeholders, tools at disposal and the willingness to invest.

By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to plan the observability journey, identify different stakeholders, spot the technology stack required, and lay out an effective plan for organization-wide adoption.
