“Actually almost all cooking is a great example of sh***y o11y.” –Mark Tomlinson

Cooking and the food we eat can be related to observability in many ways. Join Mark Tomlinson as he dives deep into some of the questions that we should ask ourselves every day about the food on our table and the systems that we work on like:

How do I know it's safe to eat this meat? Is this providing the service my end users need?

Would I know if my food was secure on its journey to my table? Do we know what happens between point a and point b?
