# Guide: Developing a Culture of Observability

![Landing Page](https://info.honeycomb.io/hubfs/Landing%20Page.png)

Observability gives engineers insight into how their systems function and how users experience the resulting services. It allows you to answer questions that you didn't anticipate having to ask.

But asking questions is only half of the battle. Having the tools to explore and investigate issues in your code doesn’t necessarily mean you have a culture that supports and drives the greater benefits of observability: happy engineers, happy customers, and a stronger business overall.
