Arguably micro services have increased the need for observability tooling, but even that “sea change” is years long in the tooth. Sure large enterprises are slow to adopt such trends, but it’s been happening and is hardly a sudden shocking development.
Maybe I’m just being pedantic or nit picky, but it does seem extra worrisome when the executives for a struggling company say something that sounds dramatically out of touch.
