Observability Done Right: Best Practices and Anti-Patterns for Effective System Monitoring

-

  WHAT Observability is a concept that refers to the ability to gain insights into the behavior and performance of complex systems. In the context of software engineering, observability involves the collection, analysis, and visualization of data from software applications, infrastructure, and other components of a system. In the animal kingdom, observability plays a critical role in survival, allowing animals to monitor their surroundings, detect threats, and find food. Dolphins use echolocation to observe their surroundings. They emit high-frequency sounds that bounce off objects, allowing them to create a 3D map of their environment.

Callable vs Runnable

-
Callable interface public interface Callable<V>, where V is the return type of the method call. This interface has a single method 'call', which needs to be defined by all the classes which implement this interface. This method takes no arguments and returns a result of type V. This method can throw checked exceptions as well. Runnable interface public interface Runnable - this interface is implemented by those classes whose instances are supposed to be executed in a different thread. This interface has only one method 'run', which takes no arguments and obviously all the classes implementing this interface need to define this method. This interface is implemented by the Thread class as well and it's a common protocol for all the objects who wish to execute in a different thread. It's one of the ways of creating threads in Java. The other way to create a thread is by sub-classing theThread class. A class implementing Runnable interface can simply pass itse...
