Read Original

The article explores the concept of a 'critical path' in software engineering and observability. It advises teams to identify the most crucial business processes, like payment processing or user signups, that are worth immediate, 24/7 operational support. The author argues for defining a compact list of these essential functions to establish clear service level objectives and distinguish them from less critical issues.
