Easy-to-understand monoliths are giving way to distributed systems: microservices, serverless, meshes, proxies, and every possible combination.

These systems offer developers the freedom to build new features and technology faster, as they are no longer beholden to the elaborate release processes associated with monolithic architecture.

But, like all good things, there is a price: Distributed systems are inherently difficult to operate and maintain.

When something breaks—which it invariably will—how can you quickly comb through the myriad dependencies? How can you separate good hypotheses from bad ones?

Enter observability.

Learn how observability helps developers understand multi-layered architectures: what’s slow, what’s broken, and what needs to be done to improve performance.

Presenter: Daniel “Spoons” Spoonhower (LinkedIn profile) is a co-founder at LightStep, where he’s building performance management tools for modern software systems. Previously, Spoons spent almost six years at Google where he worked on developer tools as part of both Google’s internal infrastructure and Cloud Platform teams.

He has a PhD in programming languages from Carnegie Mellon University but still hasn’t found one he loves.
