In the last episode, we stepped inside the browser — using inspection tools to understand how deployed code behaves at runtime. In Episode 8 of devOps: Git Started, host Raheem Kareem zooms out into production itself — exploring how teams observe, measure, and understand systems once they’re live 📊🔍 DevOps doesn’t end at deployment. Once software is in production, success depends on visibility — knowing what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how to respond when things go wrong. This is where observability becomes the backbone of modern DevOps. In this episode, we’ll cover: ✅ What observability really means — and how it’s different from basic monitoring ✅ How observability is derived from logs, metrics, and traces ✅ Why logs capture events, metrics aggregate behavior, and traces follow individual requests ✅ How data volume increases from metrics → logs → traces 📈 ✅ Why observability is about insight, not noise (yes… polite production “surveillance” 😄) ✅ How feedback loops keep systems healthy after deployment Raheem introduces the Production Observability Derivation Analytics Framework to show how raw production data becomes meaningful insight. By mapping logs, aggregatable metrics, and request-scoped traces together, the framework reinforces a core DevOps truth: you can’t operate what you can’t observe. From there, the episode moves into a practical showcase of real-world observability platforms — breaking down how popular tools help teams detect issues, understand user impact, and maintain confidence in production 🧑💻⚙️ Rather than focusing on just one solution, Raheem highlights how each tool fits into the broader observability model. Whether you’re shipping your first app or operating distributed systems at scale, this episode helps you understand how DevOps teams stay informed, responsive, and resilient in production. 🧰 Tools & Platforms Featured: 🛠️ LogRocket – https://logrocket.com/ 🛠️ Sentry – https://sentry.io/ 🛠️ Grafana – https://grafana.com/ 🛠️ Datadog – https://www.datadoghq.com/ 🔑 Links & Resources: 📺 Subscribe to RKB Tech Television for more DevOps, cloud, and AI-driven episodes: https://linktr.ee/rkblueprints 📌 Like, comment, and subscribe to follow the full devOps: Git Started series.
