Observability Isn't a Log Platform: Connecting Business Goals to Verifiable Runtime Facts

This article explains that observability is not centralized logging but a practice of defining business outcomes (SLIs/SLOs), correlating metrics, logs, and traces via stable business identifiers, designing actionable alerts, structuring dashboards along business flows, separating observability responsibilities, halting automation when evidence is unreliable, and using runtime data to continuously correct architectural assumptions.
