Logging provides additional data but is typically viewed in isolation of a broader system context. Observability is the ability to understand a system’s internal state by analyzing the data it generates, such as logs, metrics, and traces.

Is this the best way to build a system, though? For example, you might need the data to be denormalized for performance, or the warehouse data might exist on a physically different system that can’t participate in a database join. From a technical perspective, attributes that change together should also be cached similarly.
