Observability Excellence

When observability really works well, it is not just a monitoring solution, but a strategic tool for performance, reliability, and operational excellence.

Introduction

Observability is no longer just a technical tool, but a key strategic factor in building reliable and scalable IT systems. This two-day, advanced training helps you go beyond the world of tools and shows you how to build a future-proof observability architecture, measure and improve maturity, and tailor your approach to different roles and business goals. It is ideal for senior engineers, architects, and IT leaders looking to take observability to a strategic level.

Why is it worth joining?

The complexity of modern IT systems can no longer be handled by traditional monitoring tools. Observability is not just a technical tool – it is a strategic capability that directly impacts reliability, performance and business results.

Familiar situations:

  • Are you using multiple tools, but don’t have a unified, transparent picture of how your systems are operating?
  • Teams understand and apply observability and monitoring differently, leading to the formation of silos – which makes it difficult to develop and implement a unified, organization-wide strategy.
  • Do you want to build a future-proof monitoring architecture or observability strategy, but don’t know how to get started?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, this training is for you.

This training helps you think about observability systematically – beyond tools and metrics. It shows you how to integrate observability at the architectural and organizational levels, how to measure and improve maturity, and how to tailor the approach to different roles and business goals.

After the training, you will be able to:

  • Understand how observability fits into modern, distributed architectures.
  • Consciously evaluate and select the right tools and approaches.
  • Develop your organization’s observability strategy along maturity models.
  • Develop a platform mindset that supports scalability, cost-effectiveness, and future-proofing.
Who is this training for?

It is primarily intended for architects, IT managers, observability and performance engineers, SREs and platform engineers, but it can be useful for anyone responsible for the reliability, performance or strategic management of technology systems.

You should join if, for example:

  • you would like to navigate more confidently between observability tools, maturity models and architectures,
  • it is important for you to see not only data, but also real connections – even between different roles and teams,
  • you feel that a comprehensive observability strategy at the enterprise level would make your IT systems future-proof,
  • you aim to develop the observability strategy at the organizational level and put the reliability and performance of the systems on a future-proof foundation.

Course overview

Topics

This training is for those who want to understand not only at a technical level how digital systems behave in real-world environments, but also how to transform this knowledge into a strategic advantage. Observability is no longer just an operational tool, but a key organizational capability: it enables us to proactively manage complexity, prevent errors, optimize performance, and make informed decisions about the reliability and development directions of systems. The goal is not just to collect data – but to turn data into interpretable, actionable knowledge that directly supports business and technology goals.

  • The strategic role of observability in modern IT ecosystems
    • The path from classic monitoring to full-scale observability
    • Why is APM not enough? – new challenges in distributed systems
    • Basic principles of “Observability 2.0”: scalability, proactivity, intelligent monitoring
    • Relationships between reliability, performance and operational excellence
  • Technological tools and industry trends
    • Market players and tools: Dynatrace, Datadog, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger
    • The role of AI/ML in observability
    • Which tool is most effective for which problem?
    • Practical examples: data collection, trace analysis, visualization
  • Monitoring in different layers and contexts and their strategic significance
    • Monitoring infrastructure, application and user experience
    • Synthetic Monitoring: when and how to use it?
    • Typical technical pitfalls: system load, data quality, legacy technologies
    • Recognizing blind spots, missing data and misinterpretations
  • Maturity models and architectural approaches
    • How to assess the current level of observability?
    • Limitations of classic maturity models – new maturity frameworks
    • Observability architecture design principles: complexity, cost-effectiveness, business goals
    • The role of platform engineering in creating sustainable observability foundations
  • Role-based approach and organizational integration
    • Different roles, different needs: engineers, QA, architects, managers, business decision makers
    • How to align observability with the user and goal?
    • Introducing key indicators (SLI, SLO, error budget) to different target groups
    • Feedback and collaboration: how does observability help teamwork?
  • Future-proof observability and strategic development
    • The highest maturity levels: chaos engineering, feedback loops, cloud cost optimisation, SRE
    • OpenTelemetry and the future: open, scalable, vendor-neutral approaches
    • Platform thinking and continuous improvement as an organizational capability
    • What makes an observability strategy good and tailored to the company?

The goal of observability training is to give you practical tools that will not only allow you to observe, but also truly understand how your system works and use this knowledge to create value in your own organization.
