Presentation: From Dashboard Soup to Observability Lasagna: Building Better Layers
Martha Lambert introduces the "Observability Lasagna" - a four-layer framework (Overview, System, Logs, Traces) focused on connecting layers for an optimized debugging UX. Learn practical tips for instrumentation, visualizing limits, and using event logs/exemplars to shift from general metrics to user-impact focused triaging. Essential for engineering leaders aiming for system reliability.
By Martha LambertAWS Disruption Exposes Fragility in Critical Cloud Infrastructure
On October 20, 2025, Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced a major outage that disrupted global internet services, affecting millions of users and thousands of companies across more than 60 countries. The incident originated in the US-EAST-1 region and was traced to a DNS resolution failure affecting the DynamoDB endpoint, which cascaded into outages across multiple dependent services.
By Craig RisiThe Decisions You Don't Know You're Making: QCon Keynote Explores Hidden Choices in Engineering
Engineering teams make their most consequential decisions not in architecture reviews or sprint planning, but through invisible choices embedded in metrics, defaults, and everyday behaviors. In their QCon San Francisco 2025 keynote, Shawna Martell and Dan Fike challenged the industry's focus on documented decision-making while the decisions that truly shape systems and culture go unrecognized.
By Eran StillerParting the Clouds: The Rise of Disaggregated Systems by Murat Demirbas at QCon SF 2025
