Is your observability stack a chaotic "soup" of disconnected metrics? In this #InfoQ video, Martha Lambert introduces the "Observability Lasagna" - a four-layer framework (Overview, System, Logs, Traces) focused on connecting layers for an optimized debugging UX. Learn practical tips for instrumentation, visualizing limits, and using event logs/exemplars to shift from general metrics to user-impact focused triaging. Essential for engineering leaders aiming for system reliability. ⏱️ Video Timestamps (For Navigation) 00:00 – Introduction: What is Dashboard Soup? 02:15 – The Challenge: Launching Critical Infrastructure in 2 Months 04:30 – The "Predict, Prove, Measure" Flow 07:00 – Running Drills: Testing System Strain on the Whiteboard 10:15 – Why Most Dashboards Fail (and How to Treat Them as a Product) 13:45 – Deep Dive: The 4 Layers of Observability Lasagna 18:20 – Connecting the Layers: From Metrics to Traces 22:10 – Visualizing Capacity: Adding Limits to Your Charts 25:45 – Team Adoption and Game Days 28:30 – Q&A: Testing in Staging vs. Production 🔗 Transcript available on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/3YkuIaO #SoftwareArchitecture #Observability #SRE #DevOps #EngineeringLeadership
