In this lesson
tell known-problem checks from open-ended investigation.
Planned topics
- Monitoring watches for questions you already know to ask ("is CPU high?").
- Observability lets you ask new questions about a system from the data it emits, without shipping new code.
- Microservices need it: one request crosses many services, and no single log shows the story.
- It is built from telemetry: logs, metrics, traces.
