Your system is deeper than you think (sponsored by LightStep)
As engineers, we often find ourselves maintaining systems that are full of things outside our control but for which we're nevertheless held responsible. Big or small, these deep systems present significant engineering and operational challenges. Join Austin Parker to learn how to identify your deep systemsalong with some techniques to manage them.

Our systems are deeper and more complex than we think. The increasing complexity of libraries and tools that we rely on to build and operate software at scale are increasing beyond our control or even our reckoning. With this in mind, how should we proceed? Join Austin Parker to learn what a “deep system” is—and why you’re probably dealing with one already. Austin explains why deep systems are so resistant to traditional monitoring and performance profiling tools and why they’re one of the leading causes of burnout in software teams. He then shares techniques to manage and control this complexity through the application of modern observability practices, built on modern principles of software and service telemetry.
