I am sharing resources I had gathered when curating a community website on testing in continuous delivery that I don’t have access to anymore here. This isn’t pretty, but I hope to find time later (sometime when my vision is not impaired by my various eye problems) to improve it.
First of all, check out Abby Bangser’s blog for so much great insight on observability, site reliability engineering and more. For example, here is a great list of resources and insights from Abby to help testers learn how to get started with observability.
