# Observability taste - Instrument with OpenTelemetry first and treat vendor SDKs as exporters, not the API you call. Confidence: 0.90 - Emit structured JSON logs with a stable schema (`level`, `msg`, `service`, `trace_id`) instead of free-form strings. Confidence: 0.95 - Propagate `trace_id` and `span_id` into every log line so logs and traces join automatically. Confidence: 0.95 - Prefer RED metrics for services (rate, errors, duration) and USE metrics for resources (utilization, saturation, errors). Confidence: 0.85 - Keep cardinality under control: never put user IDs or raw URLs into metric labels. Confidence: 0.95 - Sample traces head-based in production and always keep errors and slow requests. Confidence: 0.85 - Name spans after the work unit (`http.server`, `db.query`, `queue.publish`), not after internal function names. Confidence: 0.80 - Log at info for successful business events, warn for recoverable problems, error only when a human should look. Confidence: 0.85 - Never log secrets, tokens, passwords or full request bodies with PII. Confidence: 0.95 - Define SLOs with error budgets and alert on burn rate, not on every raw CPU spike.
