As high-growth organizations scale, telemetry volumes often grow faster than the business itself, driving higher costs and operational complexity. Many teams focus on optimizing observability tools, but the real challenge often starts with how operational data is collected, moved, processed, and reused at scale.

Join Steffen Hoellinger, Field CTO, EMEA at IBM Confluent, and Brandon Brown, Senior Manager of Engineering at SecurityScorecard, as they discuss why observability is increasingly becoming a data streaming challenge, how AI is raising the value of operational data, and how leading organizations are building streaming foundations that help control costs, maintain flexibility, and support future AI initiatives.
