Slight Reliability Episode 91 - Head in the Clouds

In this episode I explore the challenges of achieving unified observability when integrating with SaaS products and services. I cover:

🌊 The new wave of mega-complex SaaS
⚗️ Challenges integrating SaaS with our observability pipelines
👩‍🦯 How the lack of SaaS autonomy limits the effectiveness of OpenTelemetry
💰 Paying twice to ingest, store, and search telemetry
📈 Monitoring and predicting SaaS observability costs

...and much more.
