4 best practices for operational efficiency
Blog post from New Relic
Operational efficiency is crucial for DevOps, operations, and site reliability engineering teams to achieve effective outcomes by optimizing the ratio between business inputs and outputs. The 2021 Accelerate State of DevOps report highlights that teams excelling in modern operational practices show significantly better software delivery and business results. To enhance efficiency in observability practices, four strategies are recommended: consolidating telemetry data in one platform, establishing common naming conventions for effective communication, automating observability processes, and reducing tool sprawl for streamlined operations. These approaches help in quickly resolving issues and optimizing performance while lowering operational complexity and costs. The insights are shared by Neil MacGowan, Director of Solutions Architects at New Relic, who emphasizes that the solutions discussed are specific to certain environments and are not officially part of New Relic's commercial offerings.
