This workshop will delve into the strategies and practices that can enhance observability in development environments, ensuring more robust and resilient systems and delivering a superior experience for your developer population. Attendees will explore how to embed observability into developer platforms, allowing for faster experimentation and build phases.

• Establishing clear criteria for observability within your development teams and processes.
• Evaluating the latest observability tools that can be integrated into existing development pipelines to enhance visibility and transparency for devs.
• Identifying key metrics for monitoring and baking them into platform engineering to drive improvements in system performance and developer experience.
• Documenting a reference architecture of your platforms with Observability baked in

As OpenTelemetry emerges as a pivotal solution for opensource observability, its adoption presents unique challenges and opportunities. This panel discussion will bring together industry experts to share insights on the strategic implementation of OpenTelemetry within their organisations. Exploring practical strategies for overcoming

common adoption challenges, enhancing tool interoperability, and maximising the value of OpenTelemetry for comprehensive observability.

• Assessing organisational readiness for adopting OpenTelemetry, including infrastructure considerations and the necessary cultural shifts within it teams.
• Exploring effective strategies for integrating OpenTelemetry with existing monitoring and observability tools, ensuring a smooth transition and enhanced data cohesion.
• Addressing scalability concerns of OpenTelemetry deployments to keep pace with growing data volumes and complex distributed environments.
• Highlighting the importance of training and community engagement to keep teams updated on best practices and emerging features in OpenTelemetry.
