[1 CPE] Full Stack Observability: What It Is and Why It Matters

  Presented by Joe Byrne, Executive CTO • Cisco

What is full stack observability (FSO) and why should I care about it? Applications are essential to almost every action we take today. Making a purchase, signing up for insurance, communicating with your doctor… these are all daily activities for most of us and we expect the applications to work. Not just work, but work well, whenever I want, wherever I am on whatever device I’m using. This is the state of things for our customers and our employees. As technologists, our attempts to make our user’s experience intuitive, simple, and reliable really make things more complex for us. The amount of telemetry available across the application ecosystem is huge and growing by the day. How do we manage it? How can we ensure an optimized experience for our users? These are the topics we will discuss in this session.
