  "account": "Free Observability Engineering Masterclass with Liz Fong-Jones & Honeycomb begins, inviting attendees to turn observability engineering into practice. Liz Fong-Jones previews the series, covering wide events framework, SLO traps, and cost levers often missed by teams. Most instrumentation fails due to excessive logging and lack of structure; learn to instrument for wide events using OpenTelemetry without over-engineering. Observability should run through the entire delivery process, catching regressions in minutes via CI/CD integration. Discuss budgeting by talking business outcomes, not query latency. Diagnose your organization's current state and build a compelling case for decision-makers. Avoid SLO failures due to bad implementation by choosing SLIs that reflect real user experience and setting SLOs to drive prioritization decisions. Understand the costs associated with cardinality, retention, and sampling decisions, and learn to reduce spend without sacrificing necessary signal during incidents. Observability principles apply to backend services, mobile, data pipelines, ML systems, and IoT. The final session extends wide events and SLOs beyond API gateways. Learn from the experts who wrote Observability Engineering directly, not through secondhand summaries. Each session turns chapter ideas into a working framework your team can implement immediately. Liz Fong-Jones, an engineering leader and co-author of Observability Engineering, delivers live demos, working frameworks, and diagnostics for immediate use. Attend live for real-time Q&A or access recordings and self-serve labs for each session's topic.",
