Observability in Selenium

What's this blog post about?

Observability is a crucial aspect of software systems, enabling engineers to understand the internal state of an application based on its external outputs. It helps in identifying potential bottlenecks and areas of optimization, leading to a performant system with lesser failures. The three popular pillars of observability are Metrics, Tracing, and Logs. Metrics help in measuring the system quantitatively, while Tracing tracks the request lifecycle across multiple services. Logs provide important points in the code and record information at the instant. Observability pipeline includes components like Reporter, Pipeline, Storage, Visualization, and Alerting to leverage its benefits effectively.
