Observability, honestly: Sentry, health checks, and structured logs
· 10 min read
Every infra engineer has a fantasy where a beautiful dashboard catches the incident before the customer does — heatmaps, a p99 graph that turns amber at the right moment, a wall-mounted TV. We don't have any of that. At Fibe, observability is five plain things: errors go to Sentry, a health endpoint, structured JSON logs, an immutable audit log of every meaningful action, and a reconciler that runs every sixty seconds and tells us when reality has drifted. No Prometheus, no Grafana. For a team our size that's not a gap — it's the right call.
