Implementing monitoring in GitOps with tools such as Uptime Kuma and OpenTelemetry

In the dynamic and distributed world of cloud-native applications, effective monitoring and alerting are essential for ensuring system reliability, performance, and security. Integrating these practices within a GitOps framework not only streamlines the deployment and management of monitoring tools but also aligns operational practices with the principles of Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This approach, particularly when leveraging powerful tools such as OpenTelemetry, provides a cohesive and automated methodology for observing system behaviors and responding to incidents from the internal point of view. But you also have tools, such as Uptime Kuma, that enable the external observability of services.

Monitoring in a GitOps framework involves collecting, analyzing, and displaying metrics and logs from across your infrastructure and applications. This data-driven approach allows teams to understand system...
