Design an Intelligent Observability Platform — System Design Interview Practice
Design a unified observability platform that uses AI to correlate metrics, logs, and traces, provides intelligent querying, automatically discovers service topologies, and reduces mean time to detection. Work through the requirements, architecture trade-offs, and an interactive design review.
