Prioritize by impact

As mentioned earlier, the complexity of distributed systems means that there will always be many things going wrong, including many requests (or parts of requests) that are slow. An observability solution should help prioritize both the problems and their potential causes by the impact they are having on users.

One example is to prioritize performance problems based on their contributions to the critical path of requests. The critical path is the parts of a request that, if sped up, would improve the latency experienced by an end user. Since, by definition, speeding up parts of a request that are not on the critical path would have no impact on end users, it’s not worth spending time on them.
