"When most companies think of observability, they think of monitoring, alerting, and reacting when something doesn’t work. They fit the issue, deploy a bug, and call it a day. They do it until they achieve a running operation again. Consider a simple example. If you are running out of memory, then there must be a moment beforehand when you had 99, 95 or 90% memory occupation. You should be able to take action when you have a 90% occupation level rather than when you’re already out of memory. ... The new trend is to shift left from post-deployment observability to built-in observability and observability by design. In this new approach, observability is the first thing you think about. You ask yourself what you would observe to determine if the system is healthy or not healthy. Once that is defined, you add it to your implementation." Quote above from Daniel Gebler, CTO and Founder at Picnic, interviewed on Observability Driven Development by The Software House earlier this year (well worth a read). Now, with Percepio Detect, we're bringing Continuous Observability capabilities to the embedded space.
Percepio Detect is a powerful new quality and testing tool that bridges development, test and deployment of RTOS-based embedded systems. It enhances systematic testing and observability and reduces debugging time by up to 90%. Scheduled for release later this fall, a pre-release version is now available through Percepio’s Detect Early Access Program.
