Cloud observability is critical for monitoring and managing modern distributed systems. Below are key resources to deepen your understanding and implementation:
1. Core Concepts
- Definition: Observability measures how well internal states of a system can be inferred from its external outputs.
- Key Metrics:
- CPU & Memory Usage 📈
- Network Latency ⏱️
- Error Rates 🔍
- Tools:
- Prometheus + Grafana 📊
- Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana (ELK) 📄
- Cloudflare Observability Dashboard 🌤️
2. Best Practices
- Instrument your applications with logs, metrics, and traces 📝
- Use distributed tracing for microservices architectures 🧭
- Implement auto-scaling based on real-time metrics 📈
