Summary
The article highlights three major problems holding back API gateway observability: Complex deployments of observability tools, which can be costly and require significant engineering time.

Finally, many observability platforms don't prioritize debugging tools, leaving developers without the necessary tools to diagnose issues quickly and efficiently.
