Without Data, you're just another Person with Opinions

Talkat GOTO Chicago 2019 · 2019-04-29..04-30· [devops-and-delivery, observability]
slides:none on file

Shows how to stop arguing with anecdotes by correlating real metrics across dev, QA and ops: measure environment checkouts (10 expensive test labs → provision 12 and enable auto-checkin) and saved 20% of environment cost, add an issue type to count flaky test incidents and tracked ~80 environment‑stability issues until they flattened, compare JVM GC traces in production‑like tests to prove a new GC removes pause spikes and reduces instance size, and tie GitHub/Jenkins/Artifactory/Xray data into Mission Control style integrated dashboards to surface actionable signals like average build promotions.
