It still seems to me that developers and pre-production engineers do not take into account non-functional requirements like observability from the beginning, such as during the development phase, focusing only on business requirements and trusting that it will be covered by someone else. Unfortunately it still happens even after 13 years of DevOps movement, which impacts the quality and reliability of the final product.

After my years training and mentoring teams, I have some well proven recommendations to address this problem on a continuous improvement path, I am ready to share them with you.
