Understand Observability for Event-Driven Systems
Understanding cause and effect in event-driven systems is hard. Loosely coupled services, publishing and reacting to events. When things break, how do you actually understand why?
Hi, I'm James! And fear not, because that's precisely what you will learn in this video: some best practices and things you must consider to ensure your event-driven systems are observable.
