“I didn’t see it coming.” I had to admit that to myself a few times recently.


Over the last couple of weeks, I've been experiencing several issues with Podscan that only came to pass because I didn't really have any observability on my system. At least that’s what I know now.

Today, let me share my early-stage learnings about system observability in this distributed, data-centric SaaS of mine. Even if you don't have a software business or don't operate with millions of data feeds every single day, there's still something insightful in here that I will, not just likely, but guaranteed, take into my future business efforts.
