NGINX tutorial: How to use OpenTelemetry tracing to understand your microservices
Posted on April 9, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length long
A microservices architecture comes with many benefits, including increased team autonomy and increased flexibility in scaling and deployment. On the downside, the more services in a system (and a microservices app can have dozens or even hundreds), the more difficult it becomes to maintain a clear picture of the overall operation of the system.Observability tooling gives us the power to build that picture across numerous services and supporting infrastructure.

This is how we scale: Using a centralized logging solution
Posted on August 4, 2022, Level beginner Resource Length long
Our current centralized logging solution is Logz.io: Cloud Observability for Engineers and most of our application logs are sent there from the k8s cluster. In addition, we use the logging system's alert mechanism to trigger and send alerts to various sources, including email, Slack channels, etc. By Uriah Ahrak.
