Observe Inc and the great adventure of being one of Snowflakes best users
Summary
Jeremy Burton is a seasoned Silicon Valley veteran, used to managing vast resources inside giant companies such as Dell, Oracle and EMC. "The main thing is how many new use cases there are, the ecosystem is starting to get going," he reflected recently in an interview with ZDNet via Zoom. Observe is the tip of the spear, as it were, in the Snowflake advance, the kind of application that really pushes the systems capabilities. "The last six months, weve put all the work into handling metrics and associated alerts, time series data like DataDog," said Burton, and logging like Elastic. What has been employed to ease concerns, he said, was starting out with contracts for small amounts such as $5,000 for 90 days to let the customer get a feel for it.
