The Role of Observability in Modern Software Development Lifecycle

Amreth Chandrasehar

Abstract: Observability, basically meaning "better monitoring" is fundamental for applications to perform optimally while deployed in any environment. The modern applications use distributed architecture, which makes it complex for the developers, SRE and DevOps engineers to debug, analyze, isolate and fix issues. Enabling Observability from development to production helps the better quality, understand how systems behave in different scenarios, reliability, discoverability, controllability and performance of modern applications. This paper focus on enabling Observability in software development lifecycle, compares statistics on developer and operations productivity before and after enabling Observability in applications.

Keywords: Observability, SRE, Software Development, SDLC, Productivity
