About this Course

Employing monitoring and observability solutions are crucial skills for Software Developers and DevOps professionals to ensure continuous uptime and delivery for their applications. Monitoring is the practice of watching and understanding the state of systems using metrics and logs. **** Observability is a modern development practice that allows software developers to actively troubleshoot applications faster than ever. Observability and Monitoring work together, with observability detecting and investigating problems, and monitoring capturing the metrics and alerting you when an issue occurs. **** This course provides a comprehensive overview of monitoring and observability, including why it’s essential for application development, popular tools for application monitoring, troubleshooting and logging, and leveraging insights to make the application more reliable. **** You’ll learn the fundamentals of monitoring, Golden signals, the difference between monitoring and evaluation, and terminology. You’ll also work with monitoring and alerting tools like Prometheus and Grafana and data visualization tools like Kibana and Splunk. You’ll understand the 3 Pillars of Observability and work with OpenTelemetry and implement logging with Mezmo. **** This course includes multiple hands-on labs throughout the course for you to demonstrate your monitoring and observability skills and interact with popular tools used by professionals. In the final project, you’ll apply monitoring and observability skills to a real-world application scenario and demonstrate your working knowledge and gain the confidence to perform these tasks as if in a job setting.
