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. What is OpenTelemetry?

Loosely defined, observability is the ability to understand what’s happening inside a system from the knowledge of the external data it produces, which are usually logs, metrics, and traces. This information is gathered from remote, often inaccessible points within your ecosystem and processed by some sort of tool or equipment.

Automating quality gates is ideal, as it minimizes manually checking and validating key metrics throughout the SDLC. By actively monitoring metrics such as error rate, success rate, and CPU load, quality gates instill confidence in teams during software releases. Fewer expensive fixes.
