observability-and-instrumentation

What problem does it solve?

Code that runs in production often runs unseen. This skill provides observability and instrumentation to make production behavior visible and diagnosable through telemetry such as logs, metrics, traces, and alerts.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured logging: stable event names and fields to answer: what happened, where, and why.
• Metrics and dashboards: RED/USE patterns to quantify latency, errors, and throughput with low-cardinality labels.
• Distributed tracing: end-to-end request tracing to identify bottlenecks across services.
• Alerts and runbooks: symptom-based alerts with actionable guidance and runbooks.

Quick Start

Instrument a new feature by adding structured logging, metrics, and traces to production code and validate telemetry in staging.
