Ignite

Many DevOps teams invest in Monitoring tools early, yet still struggle with noisy alerts, fragile dashboards, and slow incident response. The problem is rarely the platform — it’s the lack of upfront Observability design.

This talk presents a practical, SRE-driven approach to designing Observability before selecting a tool. We look into critical user journeys, map business and reliability goals to SLIs and SLOs, and build a capability map that defines what Observability must enable across detection, diagnosis, and incident response. These factors drive decisions around platform selection, instrumentation strategy, and adoption — focusing on trade-offs DevOps teams face around telemetry depth, cost, and operability at scale.

Attendees will leave with a repeatable framework for evaluating Observability platforms based on decisions and actions, not dashboards or feature lists
