Developers recognise the benefits of having unified visibility across the IT estate and acknowledge that full-stack observability would make it much easier and quicker for operations teams to identify issues , understand root causes and carry out necessary remediation . In turn , this would result in fewer technologists from multiple domain teams being required to attend war room sessions , and free up that talent – including developers – to focus on their day jobs .
Seventy-six per cent of developers went so far as to state that it ’ s becoming impossible for them to do their job because SREs and IT operations teams don ’ t have the insights they need to effectively manage IT performance . This explains why 94 % point to full-stack observability as the single thing that would most help them to escape war rooms and focus on innovation .
The Role of AI
Alongside full-stack observability , many developers ( 39 %) also feel that their organisation ( and they themselves ) would benefit from deploying AI to automate application issue detection and resolution . Rather than relying on manual processes , AI can enable IT teams to cut through overwhelming volumes of application data to identify the most serious issues and apply fixes in real-time .
In addition , developers are ready to embrace new ways of working within the IT department to drive greater efficiency and productivity , and a more streamlined approach to managing application performance . The majority ( 57 %) believe that there needs to be greater ongoing collaboration between developers and IT teams . This is already being seen in shift left testing and widespread adoption of DevOps and DevSecOps methodologies , so that application availability , performance and security considerations are embedded into the development lifecycle from the outset .
“ At a time when developer talent is in such high
demand , organisations must do everything they can to empower their teams with the tools they need to be able to perform to their full potential and maximise
impact ,” added McFarland . “ Full-stack observability has become mission-critical – without it , IT teams simply cannot deliver the levels of digital experience that consumers now demand .” p
