This is Part IV in Observability Engineering: Achieving Production Excellence Build Versus Buy and Return on Investment This chapter provides solid advice for those who are unfamiliar with the "not invented here" syndrome. When considering building with open source tools, weigh the full impact of hidden costs like recruiting, hiring,

This is Part III in Observability Engineering: Achieving Production Excellence Applying Observability Practices in Your Team Start with the most significant pain points, and then flesh out your instrumentation iteratively. Observability-Driven Development * A key finding of Accelerate: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations was that the inverse relationship between

This is Part II in Observability Engineering: Achieving Production Excellence We can’t understand a complex system if it’s a black box. Observability aims to understand and explain your system's internal state from its outputs, ideally without adding new metrics. Structured events are the building blocks of observability. High

These are notes that I've found interesting from Part 1 of Observability Engineering published by O'Reilly. I'm reading it as part of the Honeycomb-hosted book club.
