Customer experience, also known as CX, is a hot topic today.  Observability and AIOps (machine learning and artificial intelligence for IT operations), can be used for determining and linking transaction performance to your business performance, in real-time.  That makes them hot topics as well.  I recently spoke with two experts about the intersection of these topics to discuss what leading companies are doing (and evaluating) in these areas, and how they’re doing it.  The discussion includes these areas:

• Observability
• Advanced Troubleshooting and RCA (root cause analysis)
• Next Generation Monitoring / APM
• End-to-end Message and Transaction Tracking
• IBM MQ, Kafka, and challenges with monitoring and management of multi-middleware environments
• Build vs.
