Azure DevOps: Fun with Observability Events and Alerts!

If you’re working with microservices in a large distributed environment, you’ve probably got your monitoring and logging on lock, and you may even be lucky enough to have properly instrumented APM (distributed tracing) for consumer calls. But, did you know you’re likely still facing an observability gap?

This affection is understandable. The cloud lets organizations build or adopt new services, expand to new regions and scale their offerings faster, more simply and — if used correctly — at lower cost than ever before.
