In this episode I explore the challenges of achieving unified observability when integrating with SaaS products and services. I cover:

🌊 The new wave of mega-complex SaaS
⚗️ Challenges integrating SaaS with our observability pipelines
👩‍🦯 How the lack of SaaS autonomy limits the effectiveness of OpenTelemetry
💰 Paying twice to ingest, store, and search telemetry
📈 Monitoring and predicting SaaS observability costs

...and much more.

Shout out to Mark Chiavaroli (and apologies for mispronouncing your surname multiple times), Damian Sharrock, and Reece Hewitt for bouncing ideas on this topic.
