Monitoring and tracing requests and containerization technologies

In this section, you will learn how to implement monitoring and distributed tracing to gain insight into the performance and behavior of your microservices and how to utilize containerization technologies such as Docker to package your microservices into portable and lightweight containers.

Let’s explore these topics in detail.

Monitoring and tracing requests

Monitoring and tracing requests in a microservices architecture are essential for gaining insight into the performance, behavior, and dependencies of services. Proper monitoring and tracing enable you to identify bottlenecks, diagnose issues, and optimize the system’s overall performance:

  • Distributed tracing: Implement distributed tracing to track requests as they flow through various microservices. Popular tools include Jaeger, Zipkin, and OpenTelemetry. Use trace identifiers (e.g., trace IDs) to correlate requests across different...
