We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters. This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns.

That is, relying on metrics, logs, and traces to understand what software is doing and where it’s running into snags. In addition to tracing, observability also defines two other key concepts, metrics and logs. When software runs in a monolithic stack on on-site servers, observability is manageable enough.
