The Importance of Observability
Observability is crucial in understanding application performance and user experience. Many startups prioritize product features but overlook observability, leading to blind spots that can hinder growth. When issues arise, companies often scramble to implement observability too late in the development cycle, causing frustrations and delays. Investing in observability from the start allows developers to detect issues early and maintain product reliability, especially as the application scales.
