Monitoring & Observability
Infrastructure monitoring, APM, and observability platforms for production systems.
Monitoring and observability platforms provide real-time visibility into the health, performance, and behavior of production systems through metrics, logs, and traces. They are essential for any team running production services where downtime has business impact. Match the tool to your architecture -- containerized microservices need distributed tracing, while simpler setups may only need APM and uptime monitoring.
