Why observability is key to modern application architectures
Summary
In today’s digital economy, being able to swiftly respond to app or website problems – or even preempt them – must be part of an organisation’s DNA for the sake of business prosperity. Ensuring full-stack observability can help organisations improve performance, availability and digital experience across complex, diverse, distributed hybrid and cloud environments. Research by marketing firm Unbounce in 2019 serves as a sobering reminder – nearly 70% of consumers admit that page speed impacted their willingness to buy from an online retailer. One way to do this is to make (side effect-free) sandboxes available –create environments with no consequences of taking risks and trying new approaches and technologies, which can be tested and observed before rollout into production. By implementing the right observability platform, organisations can be on top of the changing nature of modern application architectures and ensure a robust, reliable and consistent service for its end users.
