Today’s multi- and hybrid-cloud world is exceptionally complex, leaving engineering teams with more operational responsibility than ever before. In Splunk’s State of Observability 2023, 81% of observability professionals say the number of tools and capabilities they use has been increasing, with 32% saying the increase is significant. This complexity leaves engineers with an unprecedented amount of data, potential outcomes and threats — plus dark corners of their organizations that can be nearly impossible to find without the proper tools.
Think of your organization like a city, and your engineers as the protectors keeping a watchful eye. The more your city grows in population and in structural size, the more constant attention it needs across all of its neighborhoods. As this happens, it becomes increasingly difficult for your small-but-mighty team to monitor every incident that could affect the city’s people and operations. And any disturbance that slips through the cracks only becomes more complicated, resulting in costly and time-consuming efforts to clean up the mess.
With so much to watch out for every day in the buzzy, ever-evolving city that is your organization, how do you empower your engineers to do their jobs better, while also saving them the headaches that come with unidentified issues? The answer is unified observability. Unified observability empowers your engineering team to achieve foundational visibility and streamlined workflows, while also prioritizing and proactively responding to critical issues.
