Having strong observability is key to understanding the inner workings of your workflows.

This talk dives deep into how observability empowers you to efficiently understand your workflows. We'll explore how to answer critical questions about your running workflows, including:
- What's the current state of my workflow?
- Are there any bottlenecks or resource constraints?
- How long are specific steps taking to execute?

We'll demonstrate practical techniques, including:
- Adding custom traces for tailored insights
- Leveraging built-in default metrics for immediate visibility
- Converting traces to metrics for observability of critical paths

Get a sneak peek at the upcoming Workflow Traceability feature! We'll showcase its ability to provide a granular view of your workflow execution, allowing you to pinpoint issues with laser focus. Learn how you can add your own spans into the overall workflow trace.
