In this part 1 of a blog series on serverless monitoring, we will learn how to run the observIQ Distro For OpenTelemetry Collector, referred to as “oiq-otel-collector”, in Google Cloud Run. There are many reasons that someone may want to run monitoring in a serverless state. In our example, we will be monitoring MongoDB Atlas, a cloud hosted version of MongoDB.

CI/CD platforms monitor and automate the application development process ensuring a better application, faster. CI/CD pipelines build code, run tests, and deploy a production-ready version of an application that has passed all automated checks.
