Observability Consolidation: The Engineering Leader's Playbook

Most observability stacks aren't designed, they accumulate. A logging tool here, a tracing platform there, and before you know it you're managing rising costs and a setup that ultimately slows down your team. And you’ve moved further away from actually solving problems for your users. In this workshop, Sentry's Head of Developer Experience Cody DeArkland sits down with Chris Barton, Technical Fellow at Recurly, for a conversation about what a real observability consolidation looks like. They’ll cover how to evaluate your options, tradeoffs to consider, and how AI is changing what teams should be looking for in the first place. You'll come away with a clearer picture of:

  • How to connect errors, traces, logs, and replays in a single system rather than separate tools fighting for budget

  • What “works out of the box” really means when you're the one owning vendor decisions

  • How to think about cost consolidation when moving off of tools like New Relic

If you're questioning the ROI on your current observability stack, or heading into a renewal and ready to take a look at your options, this one is worth your time.
