The value of observability to avoid vendor lock-in and accelerate innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you feel trapped by third-party vendors controlling your critical data and systems? Do you need to boost your innovation and learning cycles without compromising control? The answer lies in observability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple, Pinterest, Netflix and Airbnb recently faced million-dollar fees that highlight the relevance of adopting this practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let’s start from the beginning. “Vertiginous” is a word that accurately describes the expansion of the cloud that we operate daily. With such a movement, it is \u2013 at least \u2013 critical to maintain control over data and applications as part of a strategic company protocol.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under an observability-based approach, the certainty of avoiding falling into traps such as vendor lock-in and ensuring that it is you who controls the performance and state of your systems, is assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To size the problem, consider that 92% of companies have concerns about vendor lock-in in the cloud and 59% have already experienced difficulties migrating data or workloads, according to Flexera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live in times when even tricks have sophisticated names. Vendor lock-in, also known as “vendor lock-in”, is an unfortunate situation in which the customer becomes dependent on a product or service provider, who makes it difficult to migrate to other options with a contractual and monetary intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This occurs when a client’s tools, data, systems or applications are so integrated with a provider’s ecosystem that it is very complex or very expensive to switch to a solution from another provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one, however, has to settle for the saying “a known evil\u00a0is\u00a0better\u00a0than\u00a0an unknown good”. Some of the signs with which you could identify an attempt at this practice are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
