SHIFT FROM COST REDUCTION TO VALUE GENERATION
Telemetry pipelines enter the next phase — from cost reduction to value generation: Over the last several years, we have seen exponential growth in telemetry data volumes. SRE teams and developers are tasked with the seemingly impossible agenda of reducing data volumes and related costs while cutting time for incident resolution. In 2025, we'll see the focus shifting from data cost reduction to getting more value from the data. The demand for data access will continue to increase, especially with the adoption of AI. In the coming year, telemetry pipelines will evolve from a tool to reduce costs to a platform that lets you generate more value from the data. Leading SRE teams will leverage pipelines not only to control costs but also to aggregate data, extract interesting metrics, enrich data, such as for Kubernetes data, and operationalize anomaly detection and alerts that identify data surges from applications. They will empower developers and other data consumers with high-quality data that enable use cases beyond reducing MTTD/R and deliver technical and business insights.
