Observability Driven Development (ODD)-Enhancing System Reliability | by Bijit Ghosh | Apr, 2023 | Medium

Observability Driven Development (ODD)-Enhancing System Reliability | by Bijit Ghosh | Apr, 2023 | Medium

This blog post provides an overview of observability-driven development (ODD) and its benefits in software development, particularly in cloud-native applications. ODD prioritizes observability to gain insights into the internal workings of a system or application, making it easier to identify and fix issues in real-time. It involves designing systems that are easy to observe, monitor, and troubleshoot by providing relevant data such as logs, metrics, and traces. ODD is an approach to shift left observability to the earliest stage of the software development life cycle and apply it at a component level and as a whole system. The three pillars of observability-driven development are also discussed. #Observability #ODD #SystemReliability
