"I would love there to be a SaaS apocalypse" in observability – that's the spicy take from Ari Zilka, CEO at data pipeline engine startup MyDecisive.ai, and a former exec at New Relic and Hortonworks. MyDecisive's open source software targets data management costs from observability vendors such as Datadog by reducing data at the source; it can also proactively alert on and take action on OpenTelemetry data as it comes in from enterprise applications. If Zilka has his way, observability will return to enterprises as an in-house discipline, but without requiring an army of engineers to set it up.
