Raj Patel, writing at Open Source For You, walks through the three pillars of observability without the usual vocabulary lesson. Metrics, logs, and traces are three ways of recording the same events inside a running system, each built around a different question. Logs keep one written entry per event, with a timestamp and whatever context […]
