Welcome Back!

ObserCrew,🙌 Last week, we explored the power of open-source tools and the future of AI in Observability. This week, we're diving into the exciting world of Observability-as-a-Service (OaaS) and how it's revolutionising the way we manage our systems. I also brushed up on my knowledge of context propagation a crucial concept for understanding how data flows through our applications. So, let's jump in and see what's new in the world of Observability!

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Ever wondered how Observability as a Service could reshape the industry? A few years back, I chatted with peers about this concept. While I struggled to articulate my thoughts, my colleagues envisioned a managed service model. Fast forward to today, and we're seeing granular services that let clients pay for what they use. This article on open-source promises to cut costs with Observability in the cloud. It's amasing how far we've come in five years, and it makes me optimistic about the future of tailored Observability solutions.. Check out this article for more

MARKET NEWS

We like to keep our eyes on the market and this article's has got some interesting picks on Observability tech stocks, some of which we have been following already on the digest but what are the others?

Grafana Labs also hit the jackpot this week as they've secured a whopping $270 million to beef up their AI and ML capabilities. That's no small change! I'm curious to see how they'll use this funding. Could this be the start of a new era in Observability? Or is it just another case of AI hype? What's your take?

SECURITY AWARENESS IN OBSERVABILITY

This week if found this peice on how Observability is driving security and AI in manufacturing? It's pretty eye-opening. They're talking about how Observability tools are helping manufacturers spot potential security issues before they become big problems. And get this - they're using AI to predict when machines might fail!, now thats the shape of things to come,
