What are the best practices for implementing observability in a microservices architecture? I'm particularly interested in how to set up metrics, logs, and tracing in a way that scales.

Start with OpenTelemetry for tracing and instrument your services consistently. For logs, aggregate them using something like Elasticsearch and visualize with Kibana. Prometheus + Grafana works great for metrics.
Don’t forget to include health checks and alerts. Use Alertmanager with Prometheus rules to get notified when thresholds are breached.
