Enhancing observability with IAST | AppSec | Contrast Security

Observability has become crucial in software engineering as modern applications grow more complex and distributed. The rise of microservices coupled with the widespread adoption of application programming interfaces (APIs) and cloud-native architectures have necessitated a more comprehensive understanding of system performance and health. This movement started in the 2010s and has led to the widespread adoption of observability practices, enabling teams to infer the internal state of a system by analyzing its metrics and traces alongside the logs.
