In this insightful conversation, Ian shares the challenges and triumphs of this monumental task, including why APM was the first product to move, how they used Kafka to run both systems in parallel, and the importance of deliberately preserving a system's bugs.  

Join us as we delve into the world of observability and data management, and discover how Ian and his team successfully navigated this challenging journey.
