Observability is a fascinating topic but can mean something different to each and every person. In spite of that, observability gives us some amazing insights. 

At the same time, we hear a lot of myths around observability, how to do it, what's it good for and who should care. But our guest today has not only lived this in his previous work, he's helped build some of the coolest tools for this around.

Join in and hear what Arijit has to say about the myth AND the reality of observability.

Observability is a hot topic, everyone is talking about it. 
But in this chat, Quentin talks about how Splunk uses Observability, it's impact on the SRE teams and DevOps practices, and talks about what folks need to think about when getting involved themselves.

Cory is one of those people you could spend a few hours talking to.  He’s been involved in both sides of observability, from building it his days at Stripe and Twitter to creating tools for it at SignalFx and now at Splunk. His insights are spot on and just fun. 

We started off with a slow pitch across the plate, “What is observability?”. Actually, while this might seem an easy one, it’s actually far more deceptive than you might think.

Come hear Cory's thoughts on Observability, Culture and "What's is all about".

In this episode, we’re joined by Spiros Xanthos, VP, Product Management, Observability and IT Ops here at Splunk. Our topic is on modern observability, what our tools need and how we can best use observability to deliver performance and resilience. 

Spiros has been both defining and delivering products focused on observability from his role as Founder and CEO of Omnition to his role driving products for Splunk. He is a great source of insights into what we need not only now, but into the future. 

Quentin Packard, AVP at Splunk and former techie, talks about the need for SaaS companies to track KPIs, not just for the executive suite but for the developers and DevOps engineers. Listen in to find answers for what he tracks for Splunk and why they matter not just to him, but why they should matter to you as well.

In this episode we talk with Quentin Packard, AVP, Observability Sales and Spiros Xanthos, VP, Observability on what we need from Observability and its associated tools in our world of customer-first, cloud-native applications.
