Performance Monitoring Guide

Welcome to the performance monitoring guide! This section provides insights into how to effectively monitor and optimize the performance of your applications and systems.

Key Concepts

• Metrics: Quantitative measures that provide a snapshot of the system's health at a particular point in time.
• Logs: Detailed records of events that occur during the operation of a system.
• Tracing: The process of following the flow of a request or transaction through a distributed system.
• Profiling: The process of measuring and analyzing the performance characteristics of a program or system.

Monitoring Tools

Here are some popular monitoring tools that can help you keep an eye on your applications and systems:

• Prometheus
• Grafana
• Datadog
• New Relic

Best Practices

• Set up proper alerting: Configure alerts to notify you when certain metrics exceed predefined thresholds.
• Use a centralized logging solution: Centralize your logs to make it easier to search and analyze them.
• Regularly review your monitoring setup: Ensure that your monitoring is still relevant and effective as your systems evolve.
• Leverage automated testing: Use automated tests to validate the performance of your applications.
