If you want to have great business results, you need to have customers who love your products and services – leading many businesses to strive to architect highly reliable and available systems. Highly available systems require the right tools to collect metrics and events that will show problems with your infrastructure so you can address them before they impact your customers. But having the right tools in place is not enough. You need to cultivate a culture of learning and collaboration that will help teams to experiment with and adapt with the right tools as they seek new, efficient ways to bring greater reliability to everything they do.

Join InfluxData and PagerDuty as they explore this topic and the tools your teams can use that will drive a culture of innovation and uptime, and not burnout and discontent.
