Example Concept: Observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger collect and visualize metrics, logs, and traces to monitor latency in distributed systems. By setting up alerts on latency thresholds and analyzing trace data, these tools help identify bottlenecks and latency spikes. This enables teams to quickly pinpoint the root cause of performance issues, whether they stem from network delays, inefficient code paths, or resource contention.
