Managing and operating monitoring systems for containerized applications can be a significant operational burden for customers such as metrics collection. As container environments scale, customers have to split metric collection across multiple collectors, right-size the collectors to handle peak loads, and continuously manage, patch, secure, and operationalize these collectors. This overhead can detract from an […]

As applications scale, customers need more automated practices to maintain application availability and reduce the time and effort spent detecting, debugging, and resolving operational issues. Organizations allocate money and developer time to deploy and manage various monitoring tools, while also dedicating considerable effort to training teams on their usage. When issues arise, operators navigate through […]
