6 Tips to Integrate Container Orchestration and APM Tools

Application performance monitoring (APM) setup and strategies vary based on the application’s infrastructure design. Containers managed by orchestration tools like Docker Swarm or Kubernetes are dynamic and ephemeral, significantly affecting monitoring strategies. Container development speeds up an organization’s ability to build, deploy and scale new features.

etcd in Kubernetes: What is it and Why is it Important?

A Comprehensive Guide for SREs Build Foundational Knowledge on How etcd fits into the Kubernetes Ecosystem etcd is the single source-of-truth data store for the Kubernetes cluster. As a Key-Value store with advanced features, etcd stores mission-critical Kubernetes data: configuration data, the cluster state and metadata. This information is key for the Kubernetes cluster to scale and self-heal. If etcd malfunctions, it can cause failures on the Kubernetes cluster.

What is Application Performance Monitoring (APM)?

As modern applications and IT infrastructures become increasingly complex, the need for effective monitoring and management tools has never been more critical. Application Performance Monitoring (APM) is a comprehensive approach that provides visibility into application performance, availability, and user experience. APM is an important tool for platform engineers and developers who are tasked with ensuring that applications run smoothly and efficiently and meet end-user needs.

How to achieve Observability for Microservices-based apps using Distributed Tracing?

Modern digital organizations have rapidly adopted microservices-based architecture for their applications. Microservices-based apps have components designed around business capabilities serving a specific purpose. It enables smaller engineering teams to own specific services that lead to increased productivity. But componentization also leads to complexity. Today’s modern internet-scale businesses have hundreds or thousands of microservices.

Deep dive into observability of Messaging Queues with OpenTelemetry

Working in the observability and monitoring space for the last few years, we have had multiple users complain about the lack of detailed monitoring for messaging queues and Kafka in particular. Especially with the coming of instrumentation standards like OpenTelemetry, we thought there must a better way to solve this. We dived deeper into the problem and were trying to understand what better can be done here to make understanding and remediating issues in messaging systems much easier.
