Monitoring and Logging

Many organizations struggle with monitoring a single monolithic application. Now let’s multiply that by some number of services. We need to monitor what’s going on inside all these different applications distributed across multiple instances, as well as all the interactions across the applications. Deploying basic monitoring and logging for a monolithic application can be fairly easy when compared to a distributed system.

In Chapter 7, “Monitoring,” we cover monitoring and logging of microservices in more detail, including solutions to addressing this challenge.
