Goes beyond basic monitoring to provide deep insights into system health. Observability pipelines collect structured logs (requests, errors), metrics (latency, resource use), and traces (execution paths) from data-ingestion, training, and inference services. With correlations and dashboards, teams can pinpoint root causes of issues, replay events, and perform post-mortems. Governance defines which signals to capture, retention policies, and alert thresholds to maintain system reliability and compliance.
Example
A fraud-detection platform integrates OpenTelemetry to emit traces for every transaction, logs model decisions with confidence scores, and tracks CPU/GPU usage. When latency spikes, the SRE team drills into traces to discover a slow feature-store query, fixes the indexing, and restores normal performance within 15 minutes.
