Observability

We expect our applications to be fast. Embracing the principle of "inspect what you expect," we've integrated observability into each Lava Endpoint call. Activities for each endpoint are named using the pattern: LavaEndpoint: {LavaEndpoint.Name} | {LavaEndpoint.LavaApplication.Name}.

Additionally, we add the following attributes to the root activity:

• rock.lava_endpoint: the name of the endpoint.

• rock.lava_application: the name of the application.

The HTTP method for the call is already an attribute on the observability activity.

As you develop your Lava Applications, it's crucial to monitor this observability data to ensure your endpoints are efficient and minimize excessive database calls.
