About this session
Why this one matters
The difference between "something is broken" and "here is exactly what is broken" is observability. This session walks the three pillars: logs that tell a story, metrics that answer real questions, traces that show where time went. Aimed at the engineer shipping their first production service and wanting to sleep through the first on-call rotation.
Who should watch
- Engineers shipping their first production service
- Juniors going on-call without an observability stack
- Teams moving from print-debugging to real production signals
Topics we'll cover
What's on the menu
- Logs that tell a story, not a firehose
- Metrics shaped around questions you actually ask at 3am
- Traces that show where a slow request spent its time
- The cheapest stack that covers all three
- What to wire up before you ship, what to add after you page
What you'll walk away with
Leave with a blueprint
- Write logs that let you reconstruct a single request end to end
- Pick metrics that answer specific production questions
- Instrument traces across service boundaries without fighting the SDK
- Stand up logs, metrics, and traces on a free tier
- Decide what to ship on day one and what to add after the first incident
