What is Observability?
Observability allows you to understand the behavior of applications and infrastructure from the data they produce.
Over the last two years, the increasing complexity of modern distributed systems and application architectures has highlighted the limits of legacy monitoring approaches. Legacy monitoring remains fixated on collecting and reporting errors, restricting its effectiveness in today’s dynamic and ephemeral environments. Observability takes a new approach, allowing teams to interrogate system behavior without the limits imposed by legacy methods and products.
