Leveraging Observability for Enhanced IoT Development at Electrolux

Electrolux Group is a leading global appliance company at the forefront of integrating IoT technology into their appliances, aiming to enhance digital user experience. Under their brands, including Frigidaire, AEG, and Electrolux, they sell approximately 60 million household products in over 120 markets every year. They expect to have 20+ times more connected appliances in the next 5 years.

In response to the increasing complexity of IoT, Electrolux Digital Product Organization has built an internal developer platform (IDP) to enable the autonomy of development teams to build their products. Through this fully automated, self-service platform, developers can push code from day 1 with observability already embedded into their services. Thanks to observability being out of the box for their services, developers can adopt other development best practices, including Chaos Engineering.

At Datadog Summit London 2024, Kristina shared how Electrolux has empowered its developer teams to thrive in the dynamic IoT landscape, leveraging observability to deliver exceptional digital experiences for their consumers. She explored the challenges and considerations involved in building this IDP with integration to the Cloud and how to engage developers to learn more about infrastructure via Chaos Engineering.
