What is System Observability?
Discover the core definition of observability and how it differs from traditional monitoring. Learn about the benefits of an observable system for debugging and performance.

Monitoring tells you if something is wrong via predefined alerts. Observability goes deeper and tells you why by letting you explore the unexpected.
