Traditional infrastructure-centric monitoring provides a limited view of your applications. This session explores the benefits of shifting to an application-centric approach, enabling you to proactively identify performance bottlenecks, optimize resource utilization, and reduce costs. Learn how Google Cloud’s out-of-band (OOB) application-centric observability tools like App Hub, distributed tracing, application-specific signals such as logs and metrics, and service level objective (SLO) monitoring, can help you achieve optimal performance and cost efficiency for your cloud-first applications.
