It provides rules for forming comparatives and superlatives from one-syllable adjectives (add -er and -est), two-or-more syllable adjectives (use more/most), and two-syllable adjectives ending in -y (change to -ier/-iest). It also discusses using as...as to compare two things as being the same or different by degree (twice as big). Examples are given to illustrate the rules for regular and some irregular forms.
Comparative
This document provides information on forming comparatives and superlatives in English. It explains that the comparative is used to compare two things, using either "as...as" or "than". For adjectives, the suffixes "-er" or "more" are usually added depending on the number of syllables. The superlative refers to one thing alone and uses the suffixes "-est" or "the most". Examples are given for regular and irregular forms.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
