Observability ↔ DXP/APM convergence remains fragmented but urgent
Key Questions
Why is observability and DXP/APM convergence fragmented yet urgent?
Convergence remains fragmented due to 'observability tax' and TCO bloat, addressed by options like New Relic's agentless RUM and alternatives such as CubeAPM. Data locality and sovereignty pressures from Datadog, along with POC failures, are driving urgency for standardized schemas, mappings, and SLOs. An OpenTelemetry (OTel) backbone is emerging as a common foundation.
