/observability

v0.4 · Updated Sep 19, 2026

How do I know my app does what we set out to do?

Observability is both of these together.

1. 1. Catch the errors

   Anywhere in the app. Sentry.io is my go-to.

2. 2. Know it is doing what you expected

   While it is running, not only when it crashes.

Five things this rule looks for

1. An error happens somewhere in the app, and you only hear about it when a person reports it.
2. A failure in a background job, a webhook, or an AI step never shows up in the place you watch.
3. The app is up, and you still cannot tell it is doing what you expected.
4. A step finished without throwing, and you cannot tell it did the work.
5. Later, you still cannot tell the running app kept doing what you set out to do.

Here is how you get started. Copy this and drop it into your CLI.
