You probably have seen ads where someone claims that their app can save you money by finding subscriptions you forgot about. I have a hard time imaging someone with $100s of dollars of expenses they forgot about, but I have had the occasional one that was missed. The problem is that people are inefficient when it comes to managing “stuff”. That is why there are so many places to store “stuff”.
There was a time not too long ago, before the cloud was a part of every enterprise technology conversation, when integration work was considered the purview of a specific architecture and engineering group. If messages failed to send, or services failed to respond, application stakeholders would create a trouble ticket for the integration team to address. In some ways, this separation of labor was effective enough at the time.
Distributed transaction tracing (DTT) is a way of following the progress of message requests as they permeate through distributed cloud environments. Tracing the transactions as they make their way through many different layers of the application stack, such as from Kafka to ActiveMQ to MQ or any similar platform, is achieved by tagging the message request with a unique identifier that allows it to be followed.

Deciding at the outset that observability is something that you want to be baked into the process means that you can plan and execute with that in mind.
When businesses look at how best to understand the performance levels of their platforms, some of the best incident management metrics to look at are Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time ToResolution(MTTR). These two measurements will give an excellent indication of the health and speed of the system, as well as the ability of the platform to take care of any anomalies that have been detected or to flag them up for others to take action to resolve them.
