monitoring

Unify metrics, logs, and traces by instrumenting services to emit correlated data and deploying a standard stack using Prometheus, Loki, and Jaeger for end-to-end visibility. This enables faster incident debugging and performance tuning across applications.

The four golden signals—latency, traffic, errors, and saturation—are core metrics for monitoring system health. You use them to define SLIs/SLOs and configure Alertmanager strategies for on-call readiness and incident response.

Set up Grafana dashboards by connecting Prometheus for metrics and Loki for logs, then applying prebuilt patterns for health, dependency health, and on-call readiness to visualize capacity planning and debug incidents effectively.

Yes, you can apply this observability strategy to existing cloud-native applications by integrating Jaeger and OpenTelemetry to collect traces, correlating them with metrics and logs for comprehensive incident debugging and performance analysis.

Define SLIs and SLOs by establishing reliability targets based on the four golden signals, then configure alerting rules in Alertmanager and build runbooks to ensure on-call readiness and validate end-to-end observability for your services.
