Chapter 4. How Observability Relates to DevOps, SRE, and Cloud Native
So far, we’ve referenced observability in the context of modern software systems. Therefore, it’s important to unpack how observability fits into the landscape of other modern practices such as the DevOps, site reliability engineering (SRE), and cloud native movements. This chapter examines how these movements have both magnified the need for observability and integrated it into their practices.
Observability does not exist in a vacuum; instead, it is both a consequence and an integral part of the DevOps, SRE, and cloud native movements. Like testability, observability is a property of these systems that improves understanding of them. Observability and testability require continuous investment rather than being a one-time addition, or having a one-size-fits-all solution. As they improve, benefits accrue for you, as a developer, and for end users of your systems. By examining why these movements created a need for observability and integrated its use, you can better understand why observability has become a mainstream topic and why increasingly diverse teams are adopting this practice.
Cloud Native, DevOps, and SRE in a Nutshell
