Just Say No (to Dashboards): You Don’t Need More Information, You Need the Right Information

Abby Bangser & Zac Nickens

Our talk will illustrate the differences between signal and noise in monitoring efforts. Engineers shouldn't sit watching dashboards, they should be improving existing features and developing new features; dashboard/metrics fatigue prevents engineers from living their best life. talk will trace a journey from too many dashboards to identifying the signals that are most meaningful for a team, and adopting an SLO approach to reduce signal fatigue.
