Observability must track data correctness, not just system health

Observability in distributed systems needs to evolve beyond just monitoring system health to ensuring data correctness. Traditional metrics like uptime and latency can appear normal even when data is inconsistent or stale, leading to significant customer-facing issues. Engineers must proactively design systems with data verification mechanisms, such as hash-based checks and dual-write patterns, and integrate data correctness SLAs alongside infrastructure SLAs to ensure reliable data integrity. AI

IMPACT Ensures AI systems, which rely heavily on data correctness, are built with robust verification methods.

    Why Observability Must Move Beyond System Health To Data Correctness

    Most observability is only capable of saying whether the system was up, but not whether the system was correct.
