  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.

Race Condition in Java

-
Race condition in Java  is a type of concurrency bug or issue which is introduced in your program because  parallel execution of your program by multiple threads at same time, Since Java is a multi-threaded programming language hence risk of Race condition is higher in Java which demands clear understanding of what causes a race condition and how to avoid that. Anyway Race conditions are just one of hazards or riskpresented by  use of multi-threading in Java just like deadlock in Java.  Race conditions  occurs when two thread operate on same object without proper synchronization and there operation interleaves on each other. Classical  example  of Race condition  is incrementing a counter since increment is not an atomic operation and can be further divided into three steps like read, update and write. if two threads tries to increment count at same time and if they read same value because of interleaving of read operation of one thread to update operation of another thread, one count ...
