What problem does it solve?
Production systems often suffer from slow incident diagnosis due to fragmented observability. Establishing universal observability across logs, traces, and metrics helps teams understand system behavior at scale and reduces mean time to resolution.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured logging for consistent, machine-readable events with contextual metadata.
- Distributed tracing to follow requests across services and identify bottlenecks.
- Standardized metrics to measure health, performance, and reliability.
- MDC/correlation ID patterns and header propagation for end-to-end traceability.
- Production-ready guidance for OpenTelemetry integration and instrumentation.
Quick Start
Configure your services to enable structured logging, propagate correlation IDs, and enable tracing and metrics collection using OpenTelemetry.
