Observability: Logging, Metrics, Tracing
Instrument services so incidents become diagnosable stories instead of guesswork.
MYR 950 · 5 weeks · part-time
Evening cohort live-onlineOutline
Structured logs, metric naming, and trace spans are practised as a single narrative. You will connect a sample service to dashboards and practice reading traces under mentor guidance.
Inclusions
- Structured logging schema workshop
- Metric naming that avoids cardinality explosions
- Trace propagation exercise across two services
- Dashboards that answer on-call questions
- Sampling strategies
- Post-incident note template
- Cost-aware observability discussion
Outcomes
- Instrument a service with logs, metrics, traces
- Write a post-incident note from a simulated outage
- Propose alert thresholds with rationale
Participant notes
“Trace propagation exercise across two services mirrored our staging topology — rare specificity.”
“Post-incident template from Observability: Logging, Metrics, Tracing is now mandatory on our team.”
