Welcome to Episode #17 of Thriving in Ambiguity — the podcast where we cut through the chaos of modern tech without losing our minds.

This week, we’re talking observability — not the buzzword version, but the real deal. From my days in the war room to what I’ve learned working with state agencies, Fortune 100s, and SaaS-heavy stacks, I’m breaking down:

  • Why traditional monitoring is broken

  • What Dynatrace does differently (and why it matters)

  • Real customer stories — from the State of Michigan to Air France-KLM

  • How developers, security, and ops can finally speak the same language

  • Why Splunk users are making the switch

  • And how to stop drowning in tools and start delivering business value

 

If you’ve ever said, “It’s not our code” — this one’s for you.
