observability

Observability refers to the ability to understand the internal state of a complex system based on the information it emits, such as logs, metrics, and traces. In essence, it allows you to see how a system is performing and where potential issues might lie, much like a doctor diagnosing a patient by examining symptoms. By gathering and analyzing this data, you can gain insights into how the system operates, identify problems, and improve its performance, ensuring it runs smoothly and efficiently.
