Observability in a distributed world
Briefly

The transition towards distributed systems has complicated error tracking and user impact assessment, necessitating robust tools like New Relic for effective observability.
DevOps engineers focus on key metrics such as payload size, request duration, and success status, which can be enhanced with attributes for better tracking.
Including relevant attributes in headers when making requests allows downstream applications to track requests effectively and understand their clients, benefiting both synchronous and event-driven systems.
New Relic provides several methods for application instrumentation, enabling users to utilize both custom events and simpler transaction events to capture essential debugging data.
