As organizations adopt microservices and containerized architectures, they often realize that they need to rethink their approach to basic operational tasks like security or observability. It makes sense: in a world where developers – rather than operations teams – are keeping applications up and running, and where systems are highly distributed, ephemeral, and interconnected, how can you take the same approach you have in the past?

Considering the latest State of Observability 2024 report, it’s evident that multicloud environments not only come with an explosion of data beyond humans’ ability to manage it. It’s increasingly difficult to ingest, manage, store, and sort through this amount of data. According to 85% of tech leaders, organizations also see a substantial rise in complexity caused by increased tool volume.

The automotive industry is more reliant than ever on real-time data – and not just the manufacturers but also the dealers. Some industry experts are even seeing the automotive industry’s use of real-time data as a pioneering chapter for real-time data in general that will soon spread to other industries. But real-time data is of little to no value without real-time decisioning – ie, the ability to make complex, intelligent decisions on that data.
