# Observability · Light Cloud

> Watch a build stream, then follow the running service. Every environment has its own logs and metrics, in the same place you shipped it.

## One view

The build log as it streams, runtime logs for the environment you have open, then its metrics — one console view, no tool switch. Runtime logs carry a level (INFO, WARN, ERROR) and metrics cover requests, latency, instances, and errors for the service.

## From build to running service

When you ship, the build log streams live so you can see what happened if something fails. Once the service is running, its logs and metrics are one click away from the same view. You do not switch tools to find out how a deploy is doing.

1. **Build streams live.** When you push, the build log streams as it runs, so you see what happened the moment something fails. (`▸ pnpm build — 27s`)
2. **Service runs.** Once the deploy is out, its logs and metrics are one click away from the same view. No second tool. (`revision lc-042 · 1 instance`)
3. **Logs per environment.** Runtime logs stream from the running service, filtered to the environment you are looking at. (`env: production`)
4. **Metrics at a glance.** Requests, latency, instances, and errors for the service, without setting up a monitoring stack first. (`p95 61 ms · 1 error`)

## Production and every preview, kept separate

Each environment has its own logs and its own metrics. Pick the one you are looking at and you see only what it did — a preview never muddies the production picture.

- Runtime logs are filtered to the environment you have open.
- Metrics show how that one service is doing, not an average across the app.
- Everything sits next to the deploy it belongs to, in the console you shipped from.

## What you get with every environment

- **Build logs.** Watch a build as it runs and read the full log from the deploy record afterwards.
- **Runtime logs.** Stream logs from the running service, filtered to the environment you are looking at.
- **Metrics.** See how a service is doing at a glance, without setting up a monitoring stack first.
- **Per environment.** Production and every preview have their own logs and metrics, kept separate.
- **No second dashboard.** Observability lives in the same console you deploy from, next to the environment it belongs to.
- **In the deploy record.** Every deploy keeps its build log with its commit, author, duration, and status, so you can go back to it.
