IBM Instana® Observability automatically discovers, maps, and monitors all services and infrastructure components across on-prem and cloud, providing AI-driven application context, issue remediation to enhance IT operations. Instana’s zero-configuration dashboards help with immediate debugging and monitoring, its automated playbooks seamlessly address common issues and precise ML-driven alerts help manage rapid change.
What is Observability?
Observability in software development means looking at what’s happening inside an application or system— and identifying what we’re seeing. In short, observability is visibility plus understanding.
Read this whitepaper to understand how observability can help solve the growing challenges faced by developers and how can you achieve full end-to-end observability.
Accelerate development while maintaining application visibility
Monitoring the performance of cloud-native (CN) applications can be difficult for traditional application performance monitoring (APM) tools, due to lack of visibility inside cloud-native elements when compared with other application stacks. In contrast, CN observability platforms tend to track all the metrics, event traces and logs to provide broader visibility. Read this whitepaper to learn about the benefits of CN observability.
The Business Value of Aligning Cost Optimization, Observability, and Automation
IDC found that organizations that deployed application performance monitoring or hybrid cloud cost optimization tools were able to use automation to reduce the complexity and cost of managing hybrid applications. Through greater staff productivity, less downtime, reduced IT costs, and business enablement, IDC calculated that interviewed organizations achieved a total average annual benefit of $34.4 million per year.
How can you achieve AI-boosted observability?
EMA research did an analysis of 50,000 random developer questions and have compiled their observations into developer challenges in a cloud-native world. In addition, this research outlines how businesses are leveraging Generative AI for enhanced insight into application development, DevOps, operators, and Security challenges.
