Full-stack observability: The only way technologists can deal with IT complexity

The research also validates a pressing need for full-stack observability with added business context to help technologists manage the IT estate, cut through the data 'noise' and observe what matters most to their business.

With this added complexity, 85 percent of technologists state that quickly cutting through noise caused by the ever-increasing volumes of data to identify root causes of performance issues will represent a significant challenge in the year ahead. With 75 percent of those polled stating they are already struggling to manage overwhelming 'data noise', technologists are desperate for a unified solution to enable real-time visibility across the entire IT estate.

While most technologists acknowledge that the ability to monitor the IT stack is important, 92 percent say the ability to link technology performance to business outcomes such as customer experience, sales transactions and revenue, will be what's really important to delivering innovation goals over the next year.

Rather than searching through the vast amounts of telemetry data that comes with a standard full-stack observability approach, technologists recognize they need to observe what matters by applying a business lens to full-stack observability so they can surface the most impactful information quickly.

The stakes have never been higher for technologists and their organizations to get the necessary resources and support in place, with 75 percent of technologists saying their organization needs to connect full-stack observability to business outcomes within 12 months in order to remain competitive.

"Full-stack observability is the only way technologists can deal with the sprawling IT estate and increased complexity created by such rapid rates of innovation. But on its own, it's just not enough," said Linda Tong, vice president and general manager, AppDynamics.
