Alerts and visualization are the user-facing layer of observability: dashboards make the system's state visible at a glance, and alerts notify humans when something needs attention. Good alerting is hard — alert on too much and on-call engineers burn out from fatigue (alert deafness); alert on too little and outages go undetected. The rule: every alert must be actionable, investigated, and either fixable or silenced.
