Platform Engineer Artem Lajko breaks down observability into three distinct layers and explains how tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Falco serve different purposes. He also shares practical insights on implementing the right level of monitoring based on team requirements and capabilities.

You will learn:

  • How to implement the three-layer model (external, internal, and OS-level) and why each layer serves different stakeholders

  • How to choose and scale observability tools using a label-based approach (low, medium, high)

  • How to manage observability costs by collecting only relevant metrics and logs
