Observability in Event-Driven Systems - Understanding and Implementing Effective Monitoring

Learn how to implement effective observability in event-driven architectures through this conference talk from GOTO EDA Day Warsaw 2024. Explore the fundamentals of events, event-driven systems, and the unique challenges they present for monitoring and troubleshooting. Discover practical strategies for implementing observability, including documentation approaches, distributed tracing techniques, and essential metrics collection. Follow along as the speaker demonstrates real-world scenarios of observability in action, addressing common issues like 3 AM incidents and distributed system debugging. Master the skills needed to confidently monitor, debug, and maintain event-driven systems while ensuring optimal performance and quick incident response times. Gain insights into how evolvability impacts system observability and learn to develop an observability strategy driven by user needs.
