I'm not sure exactly what you mean by telemetry, but unit tests are so, so valuable! They're the foundation for software quality, being able to ship software quickly, and they're fundamental to software product development in my perspective.

sorry, by telemetry I mean metrics/dashboards/distributed logging/etc. Statsd/datadog/signalfx/etc.

Some would argue that with rolling updates, canary deploys and autoscaling unit tests are only useful for limited applications. The old days of > 70% coverage aren't required.

Thoughts?
