I'm very pro monitoring and pre-emptive alerting, but these alerts have to be relevant and the monitoring has to be of the correct thicorrectngs.
The expectation with monitoring is that when you’re paged, the issue is urgent, real and requires your direct investigation and intervention. But the gap between that expectation and reality is bigger than the Grand Canyon: 59% of surveyed cloud native developers reported that only half of the alerts they receive are helpful or usable.
