Observability has become a strategic pillar of modern platform engineering. As systems grow increasingly distributed and complex, the ability to truly understand what’s happening across your platform, beyond simple monitoring, has become essential for reliability, developer experience, and innovation.


What’s inside the report
This whitepaper explores how platform engineering teams can treat observability as a core capability, not just a collection of tools. You’ll learn:
- The critical differences between monitoring and observability
- How observability fits into a modern platform engineering strategy
- How automation and OpenTelemetry unlock scale and consistency
- Best practices for building “observability as a product”
- Real-world examples from enterprise platform teams
