This is something that is just so totally and utterly crucial when running this whole &ldquo;distributed microservice&rdquo; thing that you really need good solutions to this stuff to make a success of it.</p> <p>In the case of my team right now, we have some good stuff going on. Prometheus &amp; Grafana are great - digging those a lot. We&rsquo;re standardising some dashboards for teams that aren&rsquo;t too fussed, and we&rsquo;re also seeing some teams do some really funky things beyond that with their instrumented code.</p>
