Tips to Drive Developers to Adopt Observability

With the adoption of cloud native environments and the shift-left movement, developers have more responsibilities than ever before. A developer is no longer just a programmer, but also a security expert, a kubernetes master, a testing connoisseur and more. With this overload of new knowledge and responsibilities, it is important that developers know exactly what is happening in each of these areas. This is where Developer Observability Tools can help reduce time and effort and increase productivity.

So whether you already have tools that are waiting to be used, you're interested in hearing more about Developer Observability or you just want to increase productivity around tools you already use - this talk is for you!
