The future of observability platforms: From reactive tooling to intelligent systems

Observability today is powerful but overwhelming—spanning fragmented tools, massive telemetry volumes, and manual correlation. As platform engineering matures and AI accelerates, the future of observability must shift: from reactive tools to an intelligent partner that reduces toil and improves developer experience. In this talk, Katerina Koutsonikoli will explore the trends reshaping observability—platform-native design, AI, context-aware insights, open standards, and cost-aware telemetry pipelines. Whether you’re building internal platforms or running production systems, you’ll leave with a clear vision for how observability can work for you—not the other way around.
