Observability

Observability is an umbrella term for a number of principles and technologies to get insight in running (distributed) systems. It typically focuses on Metrics, Logging and Tracing, which provide insight in:

• what the application is doing, in particular as part of a larger system, such as microservice environments

• performance of the system

• how the system is used

Open Object operates in distributed environments, and being able to fully trace a customer request from start to end, observability tools are crucial. Below we provide some additional context for infastructure teams that wish to integrate Open Object in their observability stack.
