The company New Relic is launching a new podcast called Observy McObservface to discuss observability and its impact on the software industry. The podcast was named by the internet, which the team found out about through A/B testing and market positioning studies. However, they decided to leave it up to the people and were rewarded with a four-year-old internet joke. The first episode features Bill Staples, New Relic's Chief Product Officer, who shares his thoughts on observability and how it's shaping the industry. He emphasizes the importance of open source and how Microsoft has been embracing this approach since the early 2000s. Bill also talks about how New Relic is trying to solve the problem of making sense of large volumes of data from various sources, allowing developers to take action on that data in real-time. The podcast aims to catalog progress in the observability landscape and encourage predictions for where it will go next.
