New member: backend engineer expanding into cloud, microservices, observability

[Stephen.H]

Hey everyone, I'm a new member here, a software developer with about five years of experience mostly in backend systems, and I've recently started diving deeper into cloud architecture and distributed systems. I joined this forum hoping to learn from more experienced engineers and contribute where I can, especially around best practices for microservices communication and observability. I'm looking forward to being part of the discussions and hopefully sharing some insights from my own projects as well.
