Main Stage
From helping thousands of customers with their observability strategies – and hardening our own while running Grafana Cloud at massive scale – Grafana Labs has a comprehensive vision for how to turn signals into action and what observability maturity looks like. But we understand that achieving maturity across your entire estate may seem daunting. The No. 1 request our Observability Architects get from teams is for best practices: tried and true paths to successful deployment, laid out step by step, and examples of usable automation.
In this session, Brandy Smith, Observability Architecture Manager, will walk through real stories and strategies from our customers who have achieved observability maturity at both small and massive scale: how they deploy, how they automate, how they enforce, and how they measure value. They’ll also share some new initiatives within our product and educational programs to make realizing maturity much less daunting.
