Observability allows IT teams to gather data from various sources and gain a complete understanding of a system's behavior and health.
- Adopting a full-stack observability platform can lead to improved user experience, better monitoring of SLA metrics, increased visibility over IT infrastructure, and more efficient troubleshooting.
- When choosing an observability platform, consider its ease of integration, security, support, data visualization, and data analysis capabilities, as well as its cost-effectiveness and transparency.
- Pitfalls to avoid include solutions that offer only one framework to integrate with, poor user experience, hard-to-predict pricing models, no meaningful trial period or low-cost plan, and expensive storage solutions.
