How do microservices ensure observability?

Senior Microservices
Quick Answer Observability in microservices: instrument services with OpenTelemetry (traces, metrics, logs - single SDK). Export to your backend (Jaeger for traces, Prometheus for metrics, Loki for logs). Add structured logging with correlation IDs. Create dashboards in Grafana. Set SLOs and burn-rate alerts. Observability is a property you build in, not add later.

Answer

Collect logs, metrics, and distributed traces.
Use tracing tools like Jaeger or Zipkin to debug cross-service flows.
Integrate alerting systems for failures and performance issues.
