Enhancing Software Performance and Reliability through Observability in DevOps

Ajay Chava

Abstract: This paper explores the role of observability in DevOps, emphasizing its importance for improving the reliability and performance of systems. The article discusses in detail key aspects of observability, such as monitoring, logging and tracing, as well as the integration of these methods into CI/CD pipelines to ensure comprehensive control over the state of applications. The focus is on the use of tools such as Datadog and Prometheus, which contribute to the rapid detection, diagnosis and resolution of problems in real time. The implementation of observability allows DevOps teams to respond to incidents faster, optimize performance and improve interaction between development and operations teams, which ultimately leads to the creation of more sustainable and effective software solutions.
