Smart observability aims to eliminate the limitations of traditional observability platforms by providing actionable insights that directly enable application developers, DevOps professionals, IT operators, and business stakeholders to recognize, optimally prioritize, and execute tasks based on the most recent business priorities. Enabling staff to continuously align decisions and tasks with business KPIs allows the organization to focus its finite human and infrastructure resources on achieving business goals. As a result, each line of code, every new software release, and every hour spent by IT operations on efficiently, securely, and reliably deploying, running, and operating application stacks constitutes an investment in business success.
