In Exploring Software Telemetry, author and seasoned IT professional Jamie Riedesel shares two chapters from her book, Software Telemetry, that highlight the integral role telemetry systems play in modern computing systems. Explore the telemetry systems used by a cloud-based startup and follow how they change from inception through several stages of growth.

You’ll discover how software telemetry benefits both small startups and legacy enterprises. And at a time when data audits are increasingly common, you’ll appreciate the thorough coverage of legal compliance processes, so there’s no reason to panic when a discovery request arrives.
