Monitoring Microservices: A Challenge

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

Monitoring microservices becomes a solvable test problem with an open source generator that simulates realistic stacks, produces metrics, and scales to 100,000 nodes on a laptop to stress monitoring systems without provisioning cloud fleets. The tool spigo emits time series from configured architectures (examples include a 12-node Cassandra cluster, MySQL master/slave, memcache clusters, ELB across three zones) and wires to collectors; a D3 visualization exists but needs JS polish.
