Developers, support teams, and site reliability engineers need real-time insights into performance metrics, logs, and execution traces to ensure smooth operations.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Traditionally, achieving this required integrating multiple frameworks and tools for data collection, analysis, and visualization—often leading to fragmented solutions.</p> </div>
