In this episode of Techsplainers, we break down the three pillars of observability: metrics, logs, and traces. We'll explain how they provide the foundation for understanding complex cloud-native systems. Discover what each pillar does, why they matter, and how they complement each other to deliver actionable insights for DevOps teams. We also explore system events, distributed tracing, and emerging capabilities like continuous profiling, which offer deeper visibility into application performance. Whether you are a developer, IT professional, or tech enthusiast, this episode will help you understand how observability accelerates troubleshooting, optimizes performance, and supports modern digital transformation.
