Observability is transitioning from traditional methods, which often rely on static dashboards and fragmented telemetry, to a more modern, event-driven approach that treats all observability data as real-time events. This shift addresses the challenges faced by organizations, such as data overload, high storage costs, and slow query performance, by enabling real-time analysis and AI-driven anomaly detection across unified datasets. Companies like Netflix, Ibotta, and Reddit illustrate the benefits of adopting event-driven architectures, which enhance their ability to detect issues swiftly and maintain seamless operations. Imply, built on Apache Druid, facilitates this transformation by offering a cloud-native solution that supports high-speed queries, real-time data analysis, and cost-efficiency, allowing teams to focus on understanding and acting on insights rather than merely collecting data.
