Monitoring Microservices
Microservice architecture introduces a dispersed set of services with higher success as compared to monolithic design that increases the possibility of failures at each service level. A given Microservice can fail due to network issues, unavailability of the underlying resources, and so on. An unavailable or unresponsive Microservice should not bring the whole Microservices-based application down. Thus, microservices should be fault tolerant and should be able to recover.
It is important to be able to detect the failures on a real-time basis, restore the services automatically, and understand the dependencies between the Microservices. We need to ensure that the services are running and performing within a defined set of standards.
Monitoring is a critical piece of the control system of microservices. As the complexity of the software increases, it gets more difficult to understand its performance and troubleshoot the problems. Given the dramatic changes to software...
