Milestone 8: Cloud Native & Observability

📊 Milestone 8: Cloud Native & Observability

Ensure your distributed systems are healthy, traceable, and ready for production in the cloud. Transition from “It runs” to “I know exactly why it failed.”

📚 Slow-Paced Deep Dives

• Module 1: OpenTelemetry (The Breadcrumbs): Distributed tracing and following the request journey.
• Module 2: Structured Logging (The Digital Evidence): Turning messy text into searchable data.
• Module 3: Tracing Context (The Invisible ID): Passing the baton across service boundaries.

🥅 Milestone Goals

1. Trace requests across multiple microservices with OpenTelemetry.
2. Implement Structured Logging for easier debugging and alerting.
3. Propagate Trace Context using HTTP headers.
4. Build dashboards to monitor system health and bottlenecks.
