Part 2. Use cases revisited: Applying architecture concepts

Whereas part 1 described the overall architecture for telemetry systems, focusing on techniques, technology, and some of the people aspects of operating telemetry systems, part 2 gives you a catalog of examples of how different organizations design their telemetry systems. Every organization approaches the problem of telemetry differently, so we will be covering three quite different example organizations. The cases here are merely examples to describe differences; they’re not intended to be paragons you must meet. I hope that at least one of these examples will be familiar to you.

The software industry is vast, and the concrete examples I used throughout part 1 had to be equally diverse. If you had trouble connecting the lessons from part 1 to your own experience, the chapters here should get you closer to making that connection:
