Modern technologies and methodologies such as cloud services, containers, DevOps, microservices and serverless have made it easier for organizations to deploy application code to production. However, the additional layers within the modern tech stack have increased complexity, making it more difficult to identify performance issues and trace them back to the root cause before customers are impacted. While all these layers can be instrumented for observability, each of them spits out different information and for different roles.

Properly assessing the impact of an issue is another useful strategy that can help to determine response to an alert.
