Recently I spoke to Stephen Townsend of the excellent Slight Reliability podcast about monitoring and customer insights in software deployment.
We discussed whether building a successful software product is more than just a technical exercise in observability. We find out how to gain more insights into the business direction of our product by judicious deployment of suitable metrics. And also went some way to answering the question: “Can we only truly test performance in production”?
Lots of fun to make and to present and the owl meme even gets a look in.
