Summary

Observability is exciting as it has all the right elements for spearheading success. It involves automation, scale, proactiveness, efficient operations, visibility of complex applications, and improved customer experience. However, it is good to be aware of the on-the-ground challenges before getting swayed by the winds of change.

We presented to you the challenges that you may face and some workarounds. You will definitely have your own challenges and limitations, but we hope that this chapter will help you overcome them. Since observability is a fairly new discipline, you may not get all the help you need from external sources. So, start steady and in small steps so that you have an opportunity to correct yourself, building a robust foundation along the way.
