Observability
Being able to understand what a system is doing by examining the information it produces while running
What's it for?
Gives teams enough information to understand why a system is behaving the way it is when something unexpected happens.
For example…
A checkout spike fails only for one region; traces show a dependency timeout there that no existing monitor covered
During a slow checkout incident, observability lets engineers connect a latency spike to one database query by comparing metrics, logs and traces.
Think of it like…
Glass-sided machine: you can see which gear jammed without taking the whole factory apart
