About the Course
Do you write, run, or change software systems? Then you need to know how those systems work, in real situations, for real customers. The ability to see what’s happening at a high level, and then find a path to the details that let you understand, is called observability. Getting it means small changes for the software, and new skills for you. This course focuses on how to use observability.
Maybe you’ve heard of observability, and want to know what the big deal is. Maybe you have access to Honeycomb now, but don’t know what to do with it. This course will give you the why and then the how.
