From Fragmented Monitoring to Unified Observability

When a hardware fault cascaded into a nationwide train stoppage, Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), the Dutch national railway operator, didn't just lose service for a day. They discovered a deeper problem: fragmented tooling with no end-to-end visibility to trace the root cause or understand the full impact across 200 application teams.  

Join us for a webinar on Tuesday, 20 October at 2:00 PM CEST / 1:00 PM BST to hear directly from NS on how they rebuilt observability from the ground up: consolidating infrastructure, application, and user experience monitoring onto a single platform, and making it self-service for engineering teams at scale.

In this session, you'll learn how to:   

  • Unify infrastructure, application, and user experience monitoring so your teams can trace issues end-to-end.
  • Maintain reliability for business-critical services while operating a complex, regulated, multi-cloud environment.
  • Accelerate observability onboarding across hundreds of teams with a self-service model that scales without giving up governance. 

Whether you're responsible for platform reliability, developer experience, or operational visibility, this is a real-world story of building observability as a core capability at scale.
