Observability in digital transformation

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

A mid‑market finance rollout builds a low-cost observable aggregator that preserves source systems while offering a single pane of glass, ingesting event streams via a service bus and using Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Log Analytics and Application Insights with Grafana dashboards for real‑time queries. The platform shifts teams to event‑driven microservices, validates SLOs, surfaces adoption and incident trends (incidents trend down as platform usage rises) and enables FinOps tradeoffs; success depends on canonical KPIs mapped to an eight‑layer observability model.
