Observability Engineering 2nd edition book review

One of the best books on observability, it's second edition delivers the AI update that feels so neccessary since the first book came out

The book has 2 parts than need to be considered in separation.

First, practical with lots of insights from the seasoned professionals in the field sharing their stories and best practices. I loved it, one of the best books I've read, it's kindled my interest to try other sides of observability I missed before. Lots of fun stories, easy to read.

Second, I'd title as "how to sell observability and hire people to put in the observability team". Feels forced and boring to read"

Overall score is going to be 3.5 as the first part gets the highest possible score and and the second part gets only 2.

Score 3/5
