Hunting down elusive bugs or trying to reproduce an issue based on vague user reports can turn a simple fix into an hours-long journey. While leveraging logs, metrics, and tracing to reproduce locally or try to understand what happened can help us identify a root case, we’re often missing a critical component to truly being able to understand the impact on our users.
