"Developer-Led Observability: Debugging Distributed and AI Systems with Runtime Telemetry"

April 16, 2026, 10:00am PT | 1:00pm ET

Observability has long been treated as an operations concern, something the SRE or platform team owns after code ships. But the teams seeing the biggest gains in developer productivity and system reliability are the ones who have moved observability upstream, putting telemetry directly in the hands of the engineers building and debugging software.

Modern distributed and AI-driven systems generate massive amounts of signal across logs, traces, metrics, and user activity. The challenge isn't collecting that data. It's making it actionable for developers in the moment they need it most, whether they're debugging a production incident, tracing unexpected behavior across services, or trying to understand how an AI system is performing in a real environment. When developers can explore telemetry directly, they move faster, escalate less, and build more reliable software from the start.

In this session, Dynatrace's Sean O'Dell and David Beran will walk through how engineering teams are integrating observability into everyday developer workflows, with real examples, live debugging demonstrations, and practical patterns you can bring back to your team right away.

By attending, you'll learn how to:

• Bring observability into the development lifecycle so issues are caught and understood earlier, not just after they reach production
• Use runtime telemetry to debug faster and investigate production issues without redeploying code
• Make sense of logs, traces, and runtime signals across distributed and AI-driven systems
• Build a culture of developer-owned observability, from better instrumentation practices to monitoring-as-code
• Grow your team's observability practice incrementally, starting with early wins that build momentum
