Talk
Modern software systems are no longer simple or predictable. They are distributed, dynamic, and constantly evolving, which makes ensuring their reliability a challenge. When an issue arises, the last thing you want is to be stuck guessing in the dark. In this talk, we will explore why observability has become a key concern for developers and not just for operations teams. Through practical examples, I’ll show how signals like metrics, logs, and traces can help you gain a deeper understanding of your systems, detect issues early, and build more resilient applications. We’ll also cover common pitfalls and walk through realistic ways to introduce observability step by step into your existing or next projects. By the end, you’ll see why treating observability as part of your development workflow means fewer firefights, better sleep, and more confidence in the code you ship.
Raffle
All participants will be entered into a raffle to win a copy of the technical books “Customer Experience Design” by Ingrid Gerstbach, “Business-Visualisierung” by Bernhard Schloß, Christian Botta and Daniel Reinold, and “Künstliche Intelligenz für Alltag und Beruf” by Günter Hofbauer and Ruimei Zhou. All three books are published by Carl Hanser Verlag. The publisher is supporting our event as a prize sponsor.
