Achilleas Anagnostopoulos

Achilleas Anagnostopoulos has been writing code in a multitude of programming languages since the mid 90s. His main interest lies in building scalable, microservice-based distributed systems where components are interconnected via gRPC or message queues. Achilleas has over 4 years of experience building production-grade systems using Go and occasionally enjoys pushing the language to its limits through his experimental gopher-os project: a 64-bit kernel written entirely in Go. He is currently a member of the Juju team at Canonical, contributing to one of the largest open source Go code bases in existence.

Exploring options for collecting and aggregating metrics

The sheer complexity and level of customization that is inherent in modern, microservice-based systems has led to the development of specialized tooling to facilitate the collection and aggregation of metrics.

In this section, we will be briefly discussing a few popular pieces of software for achieving this task.

Comparing push versus pull systems

Monitoring and metrics aggregation systems can be classified into two broad categories based on the entity that initiates the data collection:

  • In a push-based system, the client (for example, the application or a data collection service running on a node) is responsible for transmitting the metrics data to the metrics aggregation...
