Full-stack observability is a modern approach that provides comprehensive insight into the performance of complex environments by analyzing a wide range of telemetry data, including metrics, events, logs, and traces. Unlike traditional monitoring, which focuses on isolated systems and applications, full-stack observability offers end-to-end visibility across applications, infrastructure, and networks, enabling teams to understand the business impact of their services and improve the overall digital experience.

Organizations can expect several benefits from full-stack observability, including improved digital experiences for end users, enhanced application health and availability, reduced mean time to repair, and better alignment of IT teams through shared insights. Additionally, it supports proactive management actions, accelerates innovation, and provides timely, automated remediation, ultimately leading to measurable business outcomes.

Full-stack observability can assist IT teams in answering important questions such as: Why is the service broken, and where is the problem? What are the service dependencies, and how can we visualize them? Is the performance issue related to the network, infrastructure, security, or application stack? These insights help teams identify root causes and prioritize actions based on business context.
