Observability Excellence
Demystifying Observability, Improve Maturity
2-day Advanced Training for Senior Engineers, Architects, and IT Leaders
When observability is done right, it’s not just a monitoring solution but it’s a strategic enabler for performance, reliability, and operational excellence.
Is this you?
- You know what “observability” should mean but it’s hard to align teams, tools, and business goals.
- You are trying to navigate between different monitoring and observability tools
- Looking for the best solutions to advance your IT maturity in terms of observability and application performance.
If any of this sounds familiar, this training is for you.
Who Should Join?
This course is for you if:
- Architect, or IT leader responsible for creating a future proof and reliable IT ecosystem
- You’re aiming to advance your Observability maturity to the next level
- You are a senior engineer who understands the main concepts of monitoring and want to grow beyond
Why Join?
Modern systems are too complex for traditional monitoring.
This course helps you move beyond tooling into strategy with combining architecture, maturity, and personas into an actionable observability approach.
You’ll leave with:
- A clear understanding of how observability fits into modern architectures.
- Practical knowledge of current tools and how to evaluate or integrate them.
- Approaches to evolve your organization’s observability maturity.
Day 1 – Core Concepts and Tools
Module 1: Advanced Observability Concepts
- The journey from monitoring to APM to full-stack observability
- Introduction to “Observability 2.0” (distributed, scalable, proactive)
- What innovations are changing the game? (OpenTelemetry, AI/ML in observability)
- Vendor landscape: Dynatrace, Datadog, Grafana, and more
Module 2: Tools, Techniques, and Challenges
- What can (and can’t) be observed and why?
- Common technical traps: Overhead, data quality, old systems
- Organizational misalignments: “We bought the tool, but no one uses it”
- Case studies of what goes wrong (and why)
- Platform engineering and its role in building observability foundations
Day 2 – Maturity, Personas, and Strategy
Module 1: Different Observability Maturity Approaches & Observability Architecture
- Diagnosing your current maturity level
- Limitations of classic APM-based maturity models
- Designing observability architecture based on system complexity and business needs
- Performance-aware and cost-aware observability approaches
Module 2: Personas & Future-Proofing Observability
- Different roles, different needs: engineers, testers, architects, leaders, business
- No one-size-fits-all: tailoring observability to the user and use case
- Top-level maturity: chaos engineering, feedback loops, cost optimization
- Future-proofing tips: continuous evolution, platform thinking, cross-functional strategy
Focus Areas
- Practical, strategic understanding of observability
- Technology and architecture alignment
- Scalable observability practices
- Personas and role-based observability
- Organizational and maturity frameworks
- Vendor-neutral thinking and evaluation
Prerequisites
Previous experience in monitoring, SRE, DevOps, performance engineering or equivalent is recommended.
We’ll begin with a quick refresh of key observability foundations.
