Observability for platform engineers

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.

Traditional monitoring can tell you that something is wrong, but not why. In today’s cloud-native, microservice-driven world, observability is the key to bridging that gap.

This whitepaper explores how platform engineering teams can treat observability as a core capability rather than a collection of tools. Drawing from real-world enterprise practices, it breaks down:

  • The critical differences between monitoring and observability
  • How observability fits into a platform engineering strategy
  • How automation and OpenTelemetry unlock scale and consistency
  • Best practices for building “observability as a product”

By standardizing, automating, and embedding observability directly into the platform, engineering teams can dramatically reduce incident resolution times, improve system confidence, and transform reliability into a competitive advantage.
