Monitoring Microservices w. Prometheus & Tracing Apps w. OpenTracing
summary
Shows a concrete monitoring stack: Prometheus /metrics scrape collects counters, gauges, histograms and summaries (explains histogram buckets and 95th-percentile use), Grafana visualizes, Alertmanager fires rules. Demonstrates a sandwich-shop demo instrumented with Prometheus endpoints and a trace captured via OpenTracing spans stored in SkyWalking/Jaeger so a single order ID reveals each microservice span and SQL calls. Notes production limits (sampling, multi‑tenancy) and Netflix scale: millions of series.
