Use Cases

This repository is primarily an educational resource, but the patterns and examples demonstrated can be applied to various real-world scenarios:

Scenario 1: Implementing Application Metrics Collection

Details

Learn how to set up Prometheus and Grafana to collect and visualize custom application metrics.

User Value

Enables developers to track application health and performance indicators.

Scenario 2: Centralized Logging and Analysis

Details

Understand how to configure log aggregation using the ELK stack or Grafana's Loki for centralized log analysis.

User Value

Facilitates faster debugging and root cause analysis by having all logs in one place.

Scenario 3: Distributed Tracing for Microservices

Details

Explore how to instrument applications for distributed tracing using Jaeger or Tempo to visualize request flows across microservices.
