When Your System Becomes a Black Box

You're a investigating a crime, but instead of examining one crime scene, you need to piece together evidence scattered across an entire city. Each clue exists in a different location, recorded by different witnesses, using different languages. This is precisely the challenge you face when debugging distributed systems without proper observability.
