An article by Charity Majors on why thinking of Observability in pillars is limiting.

I recall a similar article from the past about how Facebook does their observability. It’s somewhere here on the channel.

The core idea is to treat all the signals as universal wide events that would allow one to preserve all the context and not hop between different tools.

#observability
charity.wtf How many pillars of observability can you fit on the head of a pin? The "three pillars" are a lie that keep good engineers trapped inside a mental model from the 1980s, paying outrageous sums of money for tooling that can't keep up with the complexity of modern systems.
