In today's digital landscape, organizations rely on software applications to meet the demands of their customers. To ensure the performance and reliability of these applications, observability pipelines play a crucial role. These pipelines gather, process, and analyze real-time data on software system behavior, helping organizations detect and solve issues before they become more significant problems. The result is a data-driven decision-making process that provides a competitive edge.

The decision to build or buy an observability pipeline solution can have a significant impact on an organization's ability to deliver value. Building an observability pipeline from scratch offers technical control and customization, but can also be time-consuming and costly. On the other hand, pre-built observability pipeline solutions offer faster time to value, improved scalability, and lower costs, but may lack customization options.
