One glaring omission is metrics.

In the production grade checklist, there is nothing mentioned about metrics.

Infact there is no mention in the post of metrics or graphs.

This implies that everything is done via logs, which is just horrific at scale.

Everything should emit metrics: o hits per second? metric o Memory use? metric o upstream service response time? metric o That new lib you wrote? metrics

This is especially important with microservices. Open trace is grand, but thats for after you've found where the problem is. Your metrics should be your single pain of glass that indicates the health and performance of your system.




i think it's called monitoring in the checklist.
