What's Next For Observability?
InfoWorld, Tuesday, September 12,2023
Today's systems are exposing more of their underlying complexity to operators. These are the most exciting new developments along the journey of taming that complexity.
The concept of observability traces back to the 1960s, with Rudolf E. Kalman's canonical work around decomposing complex systems for human understanding. It was a heady time for new compute systems in aerospace and navigation. The advances in these systems exceeded humans' ability to reason about them, and Kalman's work is largely credited for laying the foundation for observability theory.
