Monitoring and Insight
Your complex business problems are often solved by carefully crafted applications, and they add significant value to your business and hence require continuous monitoring to preempt and guard against failure, no one would want to watch Netflix if it only worked sometimes, reliability is the key for your application and hence for your business.
Continued availability is something a modern application should strive for, reliability can only be realized when your highly available design is coupled with enhanced monitoring, alerting and remediation.
Monitoring efforts can be divided into following categories
Metrics / Logs Monitoring
Identity critical logs and metrics for application and infrastructure that needs to be monitored, and define baseline
Alerting
Create alerting when a monitored logs or metric is generated or goes beyond a threshold
Remediation
Through consideration is required to understand and select events that can be remediated through an automated pipeline.
As you mature in monitoring, you need to aso mature in user experience and adapt synthetic monitoring to improve end to end user experience.
Application / Infrastructure being up is not enough, it needs to be performant , your tools that you select must meet these objectives of availability and user experience, industry leaders in monitoring, such as DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana and Splunk offer various tools to achieve this.
