Engineering insights on observability, distributed tracing, and production debugging.

Use distributed tracing for root cause analysis. Track requests across microservices with trace IDs and spans to pinpoint bottlenecks and failures.

Practical RCA steps for production: define clear problems, collect logs and traces, map events, prioritize fixes, and validate changes with monitoring.
