The false dichotomy of finders versus fixers (sponsored by SOASTA, now a part of Akamai)

Most tools designed to help you manage your systems fall into two categories: finders, such as monitoring services and log file analyzers, or fixers, such as cloud infrastructure providers or container orchestration. It's up to you to translate information from your finders into actions for your fixers. Cliff Crocker explains how to use intelligent analytics to connect data to actions.

Tour the Velocity Exhibit Hall floor or look around popular GitHub repositories, and you’ll find that most tools designed to help you manage your systems fall into one of two categories: finders, such as monitoring services and log file analyzers, or fixers, such as cloud infrastructure providers or container orchestration. Then there’s you: stuck in the middle trying to translate the charts and graphs from your finders into actions to take in the consoles that your fixers give you. Cliff Crocker explains that a better way is possible, using intelligent analytics to connect data to actions. This keynote is sponsored by SOASTA, now a part of Akamai.
