As customer and business demands accelerate, site reliability engineers, ITOps teams, developers and management need operational visibility into their entire architecture. But complex modern infrastructure and applications make answering questions about what happened, who was affected and how it can be fixed more difficult than ever.

- The complementary relationship between observability and monitoring
- The three critical pillars to achieve observability 
- How to build observability into your application environment 
- How observability helps you tame complexity and reduce MTTR

Here’s a list of categories that are the key pillars to today’s Modern Data Stack. Inside each, you’ll find the most popular companies within that category.

Data cleaning is a massive part of data pre-processing and model building for machine learning algorithms so it's something you can never miss.

“Self-hosting” is a practice that pretty much describes itself: running your own internet services, typically on hardware you own and have at home. This contrasts with relying on products from large tech companies, which the user has no direct involvement in.

If this all seems like it’s cobbled together, that’s because it is. I’m currently going through the process of setting this stack up for my local deli and I can attest to how frustratingly high-touch and difficult it is.
