The document discusses how mobile applications can help with operations support. It outlines the evolution of the author's experience with mobile apps from struggling with UI/UX in 2008 to envisioning how mobile apps could leverage REST APIs and tools like Grafana, Elasticsearch, and Nagios to allow operations teams to monitor metrics, communicate issues, escalate problems, analyze issues, resolve issues, and communicate resolutions from their mobile devices. The document promotes principles like keeping interfaces simple and employing RESTful design for building mobile-driven support systems.
