AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
You are designing the instrumentation strategy for a new microservices application running on AWS. The team wants to detect emerging performance problems by inferring each service's internal state from the telemetry (logs, metrics, and traces) it already emits, rather than waiting for threshold-based alarms. Which discipline best satisfies this requirement?
Observability focuses on analyzing a system's outputs-logs, metrics, and traces-to infer its internal state. Because it lets engineers ask novel questions about what is happening inside the application, observability supports proactive identification and resolution of issues. Logging simply records discrete events, and monitoring tracks metrics and logs against predefined thresholds; neither alone provides the same depth of insight. Distributed tracing is one pillar of observability but does not encompass the full practice.
