Metrics are an integral part of an overall observability strategy that can help you understand what exactly is going on in your systems. For instance, how much time does a specific request take on average, or at what rate are certain errors occurring? However, there are many mysteries around this signal type – for instance, which metrics instruments should you implement to get certain measurements? In fact, what even are metrics instruments? And which metrics can help you better understand your services?
In this session, you will get clarity around these concepts and the value different metrics and types of metrics can provide, with fun analogies and real world examples.
