In this session, I’ll walk through the journey of introducing observability practices in fast-moving, resource-constrained engineering teams—particularly in Africa, where open-source tooling plays a vital role in production environments. I’ll share the common cultural and technical roadblocks I’ve faced while helping teams shift from reactive firefighting to proactive monitoring and performance tuning.

We'll explore how open-source tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry were deployed to bridge observability gaps, how we democratized metrics across dev, infra, and support teams, and what lessons can be applied globally to build resilient systems in under-documented regions. Whether you’re an SRE, DevOps, or developer, this talk will provide insights into how to champion observability where there’s little buy-in and how to scale it organically from the ground up.
