SHARE
ServiceNow is a workflow automation platform for optimizing productivity for information technology and operations, with the addition of LightStep, DevOps engineers will gain deep systematic observability capabilities to detect problems before they affect customers.
The concept of “observability” deals with gathering information from raw data drawn from logs generated by clients and servers and producing actionable insights.
“Today, observability primarily benefits the DevOps teams that build and operate mission-critical apps,” said Ben Sigelman, co-founder and chief executive at Lightstep. “We’ve always believed that the value of observability should extend across the entire enterprise.”
