Just as we prepare our product to be successful, we must also prepare for failures. There is nothing worse in microservices than silent errors. Receiving faulty alerts as soon as possible is critical, which is considered to be a healthy microservices ecosystem.
There are at least four major points of failure when it comes to microservices. If these points are covered, we can say that about 70% of the application is safe. These points are as follows:
- Performance
- Build
- Components
- Implementation failures
Let's understand what each of these risk points are and how we can receive failure alerts as soon as possible.
