About the Team
The Observability platform is a suite of tools for real-time collection, analysis, and visualization of telemetry (metrics, logs, and traces), helping company engineers quickly detect and diagnose problems in distributed systems. The platform is based on the OpenTelemetry standard for unified data collection, and users have access to Observer — our proprietary UI interface that transforms raw data into interactive dashboards, dependency graphs, and various views for in-depth analysis of application performance. A separate stream is the support and development of Sentry within the company.
