About this event

As cloud-native architectures scale, observability has become both mission-critical and increasingly expensive. Engineering leaders are under pressure to maintain high levels of reliability and performance while managing rising costs as they continue to scale.

The challenge is no longer whether to invest in observability, it’s how to do so efficiently. Organizations are rethinking how they collect, store, and act on telemetry data to balance visibility with cost.

In partnership with Chronosphere, a Palo Alto Networks Company, this Blend virtual roundtable will bring together senior engineering and infrastructure leaders to explore how organizations are leveraging modern observability tools to reduce spend, increase ROI, and do more with less.
