Description
Are logs enough to troubleshoot your deployment and infrastructure? Perhaps, but there's a better way to observe, monitor and debug your stack: embracing observability.

How to convince colleagues and the business to adopt new technologies. In this episode, Bart also invited a special guest, Hannah (Adriana's daughter), to ensure that Adriana tells the truth and nothing but the truth. Hannah shared some great tips on public speaking and… baking!
