Hey Reader

Imagine diving into AWS without a solid foundation on observability. It will lead to inefficiencies, wasted resources and money, and countless hours of troubleshooting. 🐛

In this issue, we want to show you the first sample chapter about Logs and Insights where we peel back the layers of CloudWatch's most tangled features. 🛠️
