Observability First

Statement​

Every service must emit structured logs, metrics, and distributed traces from the first deployment, using the enterprise observability stack.

Rationale​

Supply chain operations are time-sensitive. Without observability, incident response is slow, capacity planning is guesswork, and SLA breaches are detected by customers before operations teams.

Implications​

  • Observability is part of the architectural definition of done
  • Alerting thresholds and runbooks are defined before go-live
  • New services must appear on the central operations dashboard
