Mindy, i really enjoyed this post!

First it was nice and sweet! I am a VERY visual person so your metaphors and connections to car dashboard, detective with a crime scene where fingerprints have been cleaned and many others are fantastic for me and kept me engaged while reading.

I don’t have a ton of knowledge on observability per say though I’ve used tools like New Relic right now and Datadog in the past but I like how this is a written in such a way that anyone can understand. Bonus with an open source framework so added to my Wish List to check out this year in H2. 🀩 Keep it up Mindy!

Thank you so much, Keshia! I'm so glad that my goal of keeping it simple enough for anyone to understand came through πŸ‘

I appreciate your support! If you want to learn more, I gained a lot from the Linux Foundation intro course:

Bravo on the presentation! I will check out on YouTube and engage there.

Open Telemetry - in different words, but conceptially this was something discussed at the conference I was at last week. The need to gather data without having do so in an arduous and manual manner is a growing need.
