I see too many data and AI teams still fighting fires AFTER issues surface. We can no longer rely on reactive monitoring of our tech systems, it's just not gonna cut it anymore.

For the longest time, we've focused on simply 'observing' our data and IT systems, but what would it take to truly 'understand' them and act?

There is such a huge opportunity here for proactive observability. If you're new to the term or already exploring it but want to learn more, I got you!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a podcast with Nic Benders, Chief Technical Strategist at New Relic, to talk about how we shift from basic monitoring to anticipatory observability and stronger understanding of complex systems. Nic comes with vast knowledge in this space, I'll share the episode link in comments.

Which finally brings me to the point of this post. The New Relic Advance conference has been announced and I've just signed up! 🤩

This is the perfect opportunity to learn from experts about the latest tools and approaches for observability that help teams move beyond just reacting.

RSVP here to save your spot (free to attend)! https://lnkd.in/eXZzgRCX

You can expect to learn more on…
✓ Clear revenue impact from observability
✓ Full stack insights across code, infra and AI
✓ Faster recovery with automated root cause analysis
✓ Confident AI scaling with teams focused on innovation

See you there February 25th! #data #dataobservability #artificialintelligence #newrelic #datagovernance

💚 Shout out to my partner New Relic, very much looking forward to the event.
