The starting point
The system is up, but data is missing
Infrastructure dashboards look healthy while a customer reports a missing result or stale record.
Instrument the business flow at its handoffs and compare expected activity with received and processed events.
Illustrative project scenario—not a client case study.
Decisions we work through
- What does healthy data movement mean for this feed?
- Which identifiers can support tracing without excess sensitive logging?
- How do we distinguish quiet periods from stalled delivery?
A simulated missing handoff produces a traceable signal tied to the affected integration, not merely a generic server alert.
