Five nines uptime without developer burnout: The days of traditional application monitoring are fading. Applications today are no longer a single program, but a network of services connected by API and RPC endpoints across cloud containers that are created and removed as needed. There’s more data coming from sources that may not persist for long. Diagnosing errors becomes harder, especially in a crisis. On this sponsored episode of the podcast, we spoke with Martin Mao, CEO and co-founder of Chronosphere, about the increased difficulty in diagnosing errors in production, especially during a crisis. Complex systems create more data, and to paraphrase: more data, more problems. Chronosphere wants to do more than just give you observability into your problems; they want to help automate the response. by The Stack Overflow Podcast
