What do you mean by "observability"?
1 comments

Generally, things that answer questions along the lines of:

* is my app running * how long for? * if there are associated jobs/worker processes, did they start/complete successfully and how long did they run for * what’s the state of the pod(s) + host instanced my application is running on. * are all the necessary sub components up and running and communicating properly (and are they staying up).

It’s not quite monitoring/logging, although they are related.
