    Introduction

    The de-facto monitoring stacks in 2026: Prometheus + Grafana + Loki + Tempo (self-hosted), Datadog / New Relic / Honeycomb (SaaS).

    Understanding the topic

    What to monitor — the four golden signals:

    • 📈 Latency — p50/p95/p99 per endpoint.
    • 🚦 Traffic — RPS, top endpoints by load.
    • 🔥 Errors — 5xx rate, exception types.
    • 🧠 Saturation — CPU, memory, GC pauses, DB pool, queue depth.
