Observability is key to resilience
As we think about the reliability of your services, it means we need to replace a particular service or component of a pool of services that is down in order to bring the system back to normal operation mode. This can only be achieved if we can identify that a failure has occurred. Observability services are crucial for detecting when a service or its components fail. In this section, we’ll explore why observability is essential and the consequences of lacking effective observability on system reliability.
Observability is key to resilience for a few key reasons:
- It gives you insight into the health and performance of your applications and infrastructure. By having visibility into metrics, logs, and traces, you can quickly detect when issues occur that could impact resilience, such as application errors or resource saturation.
- It helps you to quickly correlate events and pinpoint the root causes of issues. By providing data from...
