Most enterprises begin their journey toward observability through fragmented landscapes. This session explores how platform and SRE teams are transforming their approaches by consolidating these tools into cohesive observability platforms that not only reduce noise but also enhance usability, improve incident response, and enable end-to-end observability at scale. The presenter will uncover practical strategies and insights that pave the way for not just an observability platform, but a thriving ecosystem that empowers teams and drives success. Throughout this journey, we will explore the following key themes:

• Designing Principles for Unified Observability Platforms: Understanding how to create a holistic view by integrating various observability tools, addressing organizational challenges, and fostering a culture of accountability.
• Balancing Flexibility with Standardization: Navigating the decision-making process for tool and data choices while ensuring teams have the autonomy they need to innovate without compromising system coherence.
• Driving Adoption with User-Centric Interfaces: Enhancing the experience for developers by providing intuitive workflows that cater to their needs and encourage collaboration across teams.
• Avoiding Hidden Costs and Duplication: Embracing platform thinking to optimize resources, streamline processes, and enhance overall efficiency, preventing unnecessary expenditures and redundancies.
