Observability is the practice of instrumenting systems to collect and analyze data, enabling deep insights into their internal states and behaviors. It goes beyond traditional monitoring by providing the ability to understand complex, distributed systems through comprehensive data collection and analysis.

Complex systems are characterized by intricate interactions and interdependencies among their components, leading to emergent behavior that cannot be easily predicted from the properties of individual parts. These systems are often adaptive, dynamic, and exhibit non-linear behaviors, making them challenging to analyze and manage.

Complex Systems

Distributed systems consist of multiple interconnected components that communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to achieve a common goal. They offer scalability, fault tolerance, and resource sharing, but also introduce challenges such as network latency, data consistency, and system complexity.
