We implemented a robust observability stack using Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger. The setup provided granular metrics, distributed tracing, and alerting systems, enabling rapid identification and resolution of latency issues. Real-time dashboards were built to monitor performance during peak times, and Jaeger was used to trace requests across services, identifying bottlenecks.
Outcome
