Chapter 8 from Software Telemetry by Jamie Riedesel
This chapter is about how telemetry system design changes over the life cycle of a cloud-based technology startup. This company is building everything from scratch—a blank canvas to develop its big idea. For teaching purposes, this company is stuck in a moment. It became a small company now; its growth to enterprise is all now. In truth, by the time a technology company moves from three people with a big idea to one that built its own headquarters building, it is accommodating a decade or more of technology decisions every time a new decision is made.
Note
All the part 2 chapters are written to tell telemetry stories using the techniques from part 1, as a means of providing more concrete examples of integrated telemetry systems. If you feel that you need more real-world examples to understand how these systems work, these chapters are for you. If you feel that you already have a good grasp of the concepts, skipping these chapters and moving on to part 3 is fine.
