Workshop Overview
Perfect for beginners! This hands-on workshop welcomes everyone - no prior observability experience needed. We'll start from the basics and guide you through the three pillars of observability - metrics, logs, and traces - using the AstroShop application as our playground.
You'll learn practical skills like building smart alerts, managing costs effectively, and using tracing to debug issues like a pro. Our expert instructors will walk you through everything step-by-step, making complex concepts easy to understand. By the end, you'll have the confidence to implement observability in your own projects!
Tool-Agnostic Learning: While this workshop will primarily use Dynatrace to showcase certain observability practices, most of the learnings will be tool agnostic and applicable to other observability platforms.
