Observability Fundamentals: Logs, Metrics, Traces, and Useful Dashboards

A practical two-hour session on Observability Fundamentals, focused on Logs, Metrics, Traces, and Useful Dashboards. Attendees work through concrete engineering tradeoffs, review examples, and leave with a checklist they can apply in real team projects.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Observability Fundamentals
• Apply Logs in a small working example
• Apply Metrics in a small working example
• Apply Traces in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
