Operational efficiency is a key concept in achieving business goals through effective resource allocation and utilization. According to the 2021 Accelerate State of DevOps report by Google Cloud's DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA), teams that excel at modern operational practices are more likely to report better software delivery, operational performance, and business outcomes. To improve efficiency as part of an observability practice, it is essential to collect all telemetry data in one place, establish a common language among team members, automate instrumentation and observability, and reign in tool sprawl by consolidating relevant tools and systems into a single source of truth. By implementing these strategies, teams can quickly resolve issues, proactively identify performance optimization opportunities, and achieve operational efficiency.
