Chapter 1:

The Observability Gap

Most managed services provide "black box" observability:

  • Managed Dashboards: Metrics are often aggregated or delayed, hiding the granular detail needed for deep troubleshooting.
  • Proprietary Logging: Audit logs are often trapped within vendor-specific formats (like AWS CloudWatch or GCP Operations Suite), making multi-cloud compliance difficult.
  • Control Plane Dependency: If you cannot access the cloud console, you lose visibility into the database's health.
