The ability to monitor the state of a system and take corrective actions based on insights derived from this monitoring is the essence of observability. Observability is an intrinsic ingredient of modern highly scalable and available software systems. In this article we survey the thoughts of two experts in the area of observability. They provide deep insights into the current state of the art and future directions in observability practices and technology.
