This podcast episode features Mudassir Khan, VP of Engineering and co-founder of Intangles, detailing his journey from a backend engineer to a deep-tech leader. The discussion focuses on how he built Intangles around the Digital Twin concept for Predictive Vehicle Health in commercial fleets. A key technical theme is the critical shift from traditional monitoring to Deep Observability, emphasizing the necessity of unifying Metrics, Logs, and Traces to gain an end-to-end view of the customer journey, enabling engineers to be proactive and leverage AI/ML for future prediction and problem prevention.

This episode of the "Observability Unpolluted" podcast features Solutions Architect Suman Chakraborty of Platform9, who shares critical insights from his journey moving from core telecom engineering to cloud-native leadership. Suman highlights that while Kubernetes offers essential scaling capabilities, it's not a universal solution for every workload. He emphasizes the urgent need for companies to transition from reactive monitoring (which detects failure only after an outage) to proactive observability, which uses metrics and traces to spot issues before they impact users. Crucially, Suman stresses that the best defense against embarrassing production incidents is a shift to GitOps and version control for all infrastructure, eliminating disruptive manual changes. Ultimately, he views new concepts like AI in DevOps as a necessary "glue" for automation, but one that rests on the foundational mastery of skills like Linux, CI/CD, and Kubernetes.
