At this point in our series, you’re likely quite familiar with the many opportunities and challenges that Kubernetes presents (especially when it comes to monitoring!). The last couple of posts take at a look at Prometheus for monitoring Kubernetes, with a side-by-side comparison with Sensu, and illustrate how they work in tandem.
As an Internet startup, you have to put out innovative, meaningful solutions for your users. Therefore, no matter what that solution may be, you’ve got to make sure that the solution is available, functioning, and has excellent performance at launch and afterwards. To help you succeed and to avoid common web monitoring mistakes, we’ve put together a list for you.
The ELK Stack is the world’s most popular open source log analytics and log management platform.

Most commonly services type promises are used to manage standard operating system services though they can be used for abstracting other logical states.
There are transparent companies – and then there’s GitLab. “GitLab is a ridiculously transparent company,” said Ben Kochie, a Staff Backend Engineer for Monitoring at GitLab. “When GitLab has a database outage, we live stream the recovery on YouTube.” GitLab has the same bare all approach to its metrics. “All of our Prometheus metrics are available on a public Grafana dashboard,” Kochie told the crowd gathered at GrafanaCon.
Cloudflare, a company that provides CDN services to major websites around the world, recently experienced an outage that took down many of their customers’ sites.

API Gateway is a powerful tool for creating a coherent API out of a set of multiple disconnected remote function providers, and API Gateway with AWS Lambda, when used properly, can give you the capacity to create truly powerful serverless APIs. However, given that API Gateway is a layer between your requests and the code itself, there are latency concerns that API Gateway Lambdas may face that may not be present when working with other architectures.
