Survey Surfaces Spike In Observability Investments Among DevOps Teams
DevOps.com, Friday, October 25th, 2024
A survey of 504 DevOps practitioners finds 63% working for organizations that will be making additional investments in observability over the next two years, with 21% describing those investments as significant.
Conducted by Techstrong Research, an arm of Techstrong Group, the survey finds that 48% of respondents work for organizations that already practice observability on a regular basis.
While observability has always been a core tenet of any set of best DevOps practices, software engineering teams are moving beyond simply tracking a set of pre-defined metrics. Modern observability platforms make it possible to analyze the logs, metrics and traces created by an application environment in a way that enables DevOps to launch queries to help identify the root cause of an application performance issue.
