Java Jedi Powers: How to Accelerate Delivery of Reliable Software

GOTO Chicago 2018

There has been an awakening. Automated workflows are the gold standard for delivering top quality products in an agile environment, but with constant change, comes constant risk. New code is deployed at faster rates, but Continuous Delivery often also means having to deal with continuous errors. Enter Observability, a measure of how well the internal states of a system can be inferred from its external outputs. It’s the ability to know how applications operate in production.

In this session, we’ll introduce the concept of Observability in Java applications and how to incorporate it into your system. Metrics, logging, monitoring, and reliability. It’s not just about monitoring your system, it’s about understanding it as a whole.
