Observability for Modern Distributed Systems: A Practical Guide to Metrics, Logs, Traces, SLOs and OpenTelemetry

Observability has moved from a nice-to-have to a core capability for teams building modern software. As systems grow distributed, ephemeral, and dependent on third-party services, traditional monitoring that watches a handful of server metrics no longer gives the visibility engineers and product teams need. Observability focuses on understanding system behavior from the outside in, enabling […]
