### Hook
### Structure
- What is [[Observability]]?
- Looking at the inner workings of a system continuously, with the goal of understanding how well it's working and improving how it responds to different events.
- Check out this video from Lisa Jung that goes into more on this topic.
- Why do we observe?
- Observing a system helps us make it reliable, because it builds our confidence about its tolerances: what it can handle and what it can't.
- What outputs do we observe?
- Metrics, logs, traces, profiles
- But also: alerts, performance, anything important
- Difficulties in observability
- How do you get the data?
- Instrument the code
- Monitoring specific things
- Aggregating the data
- Making the data comprehensible
- Visualizations
- Making the data actionable
- Alerting
- Ensuring that the observability stack itself is scalable and performant
