It all starts with the dreaded alert. So how can observability (o11y for short) help teams save precious time and resolve incidents faster?

This makes sense because traditional monitoring tools — dashboards, logs, and metrics — were originally built for monolithic systems with far fewer moving pieces.

Every time you get an alert, it is likely to be something you have never experienced before and couldn’t have predicted.

To explain how we must begin with a high-level overview of instrumentation and how it differs from monitoring to observability.
