ALL YOU NEED IS WIDE EVENTS, NOT “METRICS, LOGS AND TRACES”

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A common approach to observability focuses on the distinction between logs, metrics, and traces. A simpler approach is to focus on "Wide Events". Wide Events are essentially flexible data structures (similar to JSON objects) that can store any relevant information. Meta has a system called Scuba that demonstrates Wide Events. It has an intuitive interface that allows for easy exploration and filtering of data, empowering users to uncover unknown problems and quickly narrow down the scope of issues.
