Monitoring in software development is the continuous observation of system performance, behavior, and characteristics.

Its impact is profound, enabling early error detection, resource efficiency, and improved user satisfaction. Monitoring is not only about how the system performs, but also if functionalities work as predicted by Product. The presence of monitoring eases the job by fostering a culture of proactive problem-solving and efficiency, unlike its absence, which can lead to unexpected failures and complexities in troubleshooting.
