With a new project started in early 2020, I knew that I wanted to observability deeply integrated. To that end, the system is deeply instrumented with traces. At the outset, the benefits of that approach were unclear to me. Similar to installing multiple cables before installing drywall during home construction, I knew that adding in the hooks early was best, even if there would be adjustments later.
In this talk, I'll cover my team's journey including how we did the early integration, included interactions with existing tooling that was available in our organization, and go through several "aha" moments we encountered when we've had instrumentation in place that has proven valuable in uncovering problems both in our deployed environment and in our test suite.
