Monitoring Stack was yesterday – Observability Platform at scale!
In modern software engineering, monitoring your own systems is already a standardised and interchangeable commodity best purchased cheaply from experts. However, everyone has probably heard a joke at some point about how expensive these monitoring services can become once a system reaches a certain size. So would you rather build it yourself? But as the complexity of your own systems increases, so does the effort of your monitoring stack – right up to the organisational question: Is monitoring just one component in every team or is it a separate product after all? In this talk, we will therefore use the monitoring story of a B2B Kubernetes Cluster Fleet Management Platform (because why not a super complex system?) to explore how the commodity monitoring can be successfully organised across several teams and effectively deliver added value with product thinking and platform patterns, even to the end customer.
