Explore observability in Spring-based distributed systems through this 44-minute conference talk from Spring I/O 2018 in Barcelona. Delve into the three pillars of observability - logging, metrics, and tracing - and learn how to integrate them into Spring Boot applications. Discover tools like Zipkin for distributed tracing, Micrometer for metrics, and Spring Cloud Sleuth for tracing instrumentation and log correlation. Gain insights on improving alerting, root-cause analysis, trend analysis, and monitoring in distributed systems. Suitable for developers with basic Spring Boot knowledge, this talk covers topics from Spring Boot Actuator to centralized logging, metrics examples, and the observability cycle, providing key takeaways for achieving powerful observability in your applications.
