Observability beyond logging for Java Microservices

Understanding what's going on in a microservices environment can be challenging, especially when things go wrong. In this talk, we'll look at the array of tooling available to help with observability at scale with Java-based microservices.

We'll cover:
• Prometheus, for time-series metrics
• OpenTracing for being able to trace a request all the way through the system, and
• Scope for visualizing a live map of a microservices app for troubleshooting.

Live demos will be interleaved throughout the talk – where we'll use a real microservices app deployed on Kubernetes as an example.
