  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.

  Why we need Container Patterns: Due to popularity of microservices and distributed computing, containerization has become a major trend in software development.  It involves encapsulating or packaging software code and all its dependencies so that it can run uniformly and consistently on any infrastructure.  In distributed architecture which consists of many microservices, we want our microservices business focused and keep non functional aspects like security, service discovery, proxy, logging and platform configuration etc out of our microservices code, container patterns evolved.  There are 2 popular patterns: Sidecar Ambassadors Sidecar pattern:  In this pattern, we schedule a workload on the same hosts which is intended for specific things that don’t concern your application. There are various use cases for sidecar patterns like request authentication/authorization, service discovery, adding HTTPS to legacy service.  Usecase : We will d...
