This module teaches you to manage monitoring alerts effectively, conduct blameless retrospectives that focus on learning rather than blame, and build a just culture where engineers feel safe reporting mistakes. Learn to improve application performance by identifying real issues with Azure Application Insights smart detection, reducing meaningless alerts, and understanding server response-time degradation patterns.

Learning objectives

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

  • Configure Azure Application Insights smart detection and interpret performance degradation notifications.
  • Diagnose and improve application performance using telemetry and profiler data.
  • Reduce alert fatigue by distinguishing actionable alerts from meaningless noise.
  • Conduct blameless retrospectives that focus on system improvements rather than individual blame.
  • Build a just culture where engineers learn from mistakes without fear of punishment.
