for me, the most impactful thing in terms of users, was introducing graphite/grafana to a large news org.
Before it was all splunk, everything took ages, and you needed to have a degree in weird regex/SQL syntax to get anything useful.
I started showing off graphite/grafana to a few devs. I put some basic CPU/Memory/HTTP request time metrics in. They started putting it in the expressjs layer they had. This meant that any HTTP call was automatically logged, along with CPU memory and anything else they wanted.
By the time I left, splunk was used to do post mortems, and virtually every team had a grafana dashboard, with the Product/buisness owners setting the SLAs/alerts.
