Boost DevOps maturity with observability and a data lakehouse

The article discusses how data scale and silos can hinder DevOps maturity, and how combining data lakes and warehouses with observability data can promote DevOps maturity and accelerate growth. DevOps teams are facing challenges due to the growing volumes of data, which makes it difficult to process and analyze for insights. The high amount of data generated by cloud-native apps using Kubernetes can overwhelm traditional databases, leading teams to rely on cloud-based data lakes. A data lakehouse approach combining the capabilities of a data warehouse and a data lake can address these challenges with scalability and parallel processing. Access to real-time topology map data and observability analytics platforms can help DevOps and DevSecOps teams automate processes, build security into software delivery, and quickly detect and remediate security incidents. A data lakehouse-based approach can turn large amounts of data into actionable intelligence without disrupting operations. #DevOpsMaturity #DataLakehouseApproach #ObservabilityAnalytics #softcorpremium
