Real-time streaming needs real-time analytics As enterprises move their workloads to cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services, the complexity of observing their workloads increases. Log data—the most verbose form of observability data, complementing other standardized signals like metrics and traces—is especially critical.

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. In addition to tracing, observability also defines two other key concepts, metrics and logs. When software runs in a monolithic stack on on-site servers, observability is manageable enough.
