    @earlybits @alshalloway That’s why the entire meetup I was quoting was about the importance of building a strong devops culture and emphasising observability over monitoring. The goal is no 2am emergency issues.


    Just ran through my @sydjs talk for tonight! (How are there still tickets available for this? It’s at @canva which always means good πŸ— and 🍻, and there are three other amazing talks on too. YOU SHOULD GO TO THIS.)
