<p>In today’s world of fast-growing systems, backend developers and SRE teams often struggle with noisy alerts, manual incident handling, and the complexity of maintaining reliable services. In this beginner-friendly lightning talk, I will share what I learnt as a backend engineer working inside an SRE organization, and how observability plays a critical role in keeping systems healthy.</p><p>We’ll break down core concepts like logs, metrics, traces, SLIs, and SLOs in simple terms, and explore how incidents flow through real monitoring systems. I will also give an overview of a practical event-handling workflow showing how automated rules and actions can reduce alert fatigue and improve reliability without deep SRE expertise.</p><p>This session is designed for students and early-career developers who feel overwhelmed by observability and DevOps jargon. By the end, you’ll clearly understand how observability supports backend development, how incidents are managed in production environments, and how you can start experimenting with your own automation and monitoring workflows using open-source tools.</p>
