Description

Think of this talk as Microservices 201. You know microservices basics and their pros and cons and have maybe even started putting them in production but haven’t spent much time thinking about how to maintain them. Maria Gomez explores the most important operational concerns for maintaining microservices and explains why observability helps you maintain a healthy production environment.

Topics include:

  • Building microservices that are observable
  • Treating logging and monitoring as first-class citizens and evolving them with your systems
  • Creating smart alerts and new approaches for on-call duty
