A few weeks ago, I signed up for a local MeetUp sponsored by AWS. The topic was Managed Observability, and with my history at AppDynamics and now Datadog, I was keen to learn how others are positioning their solutions and guiding customers through this process. For anyone who is refactoring or shifting their applications into a distributed, often multi-environment delivery model has a lot to grasp, and observability is a critical part of that: before, during, and after the transition. 

Aside the competitive landscape, it was a learning opportunity that I enjoyed, and I was able to network with some of the other participants. 

Oh, and before the event, I dropped by my usual spots. I visited Hidden Springs and Magnanamous Brewers and picked up a couple of items for Aaron and Scott.
