With metrics, histograms, and traces, we finally have a complete picture of the microservices application that will empower us to not only get a pulse of the overall health of their application, but also drill down into the specific misbehaving areas more accurately and faster than ever.The modern application landscape is changing fast! A microservices architecture modularizes your application where each service can be built and scaled independently of the other. But with great power comes great responsibility. It is also ever more challenging for developers and operations to not only monitor, but to be able to quickly triage and identify the pain points along with the speed of continuous integration and deployment. In this talk, we are going to explore how utilizing metrics, histograms, and traces can help tackle challenges of modern applications observability riddles.
