Observability is essential to ensure the reliability, security and quality of any software system. However, serverless applications have unique characteristics that make observability more difficult than in traditional server-based applications. In this blog post, we will discuss some of these challenges and how to overcome them.

Let’s start with a simple introductory comparison: With proprietary (closed source) database software, the public does not have access to the source code; only the company that owns it and those given access can modify it. Those most involved with open source software know the reality about security. The list goes on and on.

Just like shipping containers revolutionized the transportation industry, Docker containers disrupted software. A standard Docker container can run anywhere, on a personal computer (for example, PC, Mac, Linux), in the cloud, on local servers, and even on edge devices. What is Docker? Docker is more than containers, though.
