“I never directly worked with Liz in an engineering capacity, but she was a visible and outspoken advocate at company meetings and within our internal communication systems and my first direct experience with escalating internal issues to a Google-wide audience. I directly witnessed her speaking up for protecting our users and peers and against policies that would cause harm to marginalized groups. I still sing her praises to new employees who never had the opportunity to witness her fighting to do the right things. Liz has such character and integrity that I am willing to hear an interview pitch from any company she works for and recommend anyone else to do so. That's how highly I think of her and how much I would value being a colleague of hers. Any company that employs her has gained an incredible asset far beyond a technical skillset.”

Observability Engineering
O'Reilly Media
Observability is critical for building, changing, and understanding the software that powers complex modern systems. Teams that adopt observability are much better equipped to ship code swiftly and confidently, identify outliers and aberrant behaviors, and understand the experience of each and every user. This practical book explains the value of observable systems and shows you how to practice observability-driven development.
Authors Charity Majors, Liz Fong-Jones, and George Miranda…Observability is critical for building, changing, and understanding the software that powers complex modern systems. Teams that adopt observability are much better equipped to ship code swiftly and confidently, identify outliers and aberrant behaviors, and understand the experience of each and every user. This practical book explains the value of observable systems and shows you how to practice observability-driven development.
Authors Charity Majors, Liz Fong-Jones, and George Miranda from Honeycomb explain what constitutes good observability, show you how to improve upon what youâ??re doing today, and provide practical dos and don'ts for migrating from legacy tooling, such as metrics, monitoring, and log management. Youâ??ll also learn the impact observability has on organizational culture (and vice versa).Other authorsSee publication
