Reverse engineering, for true data observability
Reverse engineering is “the process of deconstructing a product or system to understand how it works and improve it”. It is the essential prerequisite for true observability. Reverse engineering can be applied to various fields. We are particularly interested in everything relating to Information Systems, and in particular data - and everything that makes it usable: storage, processing, exhibition. For what ? Because it is the most inflationary and heterogeneous part of information systems, therefore the most complex. The “moves” towards the Cloud have required rapid modernizations, but they have not slowed down this continuous march towards hyper complexity. “Modernization” projects, erasure of IT debt, or simple knowledge sharing should rely on solid observability of data enabled by technical reverse engineering of systems. For objective observability...
