Threshold-based alerts and anomaly detection

Effective monitoring and alerting are critical components of a robust microservices architecture. Threshold-based alerts and anomaly detection mechanisms help identify issues, deviations from normal behavior, and potential problems before they impact the system’s performance.

Threshold-based alerts

Threshold-based alerts can help establish baseline metrics to determine normal behavior. It can also allow for adjustable thresholds based on different environments (e.g., development and production).

Here’s why threshold-based alerts are important:

• Proactive issue detection:
  • What it does: Identifies abnormal conditions based on predefined thresholds.
  • Implementation: Set thresholds for key metrics such as response times, error rates, and resource utilization.
• Immediate notification:
  • What it does: Triggers alerts to notify stakeholders about issues in real time.
  • Implementation: Use alerting systems to send notifications...
