Building microservices is great, but without observability, it’s like flying blind.
In this article, we’ll cover monitoring, logging, tracing, and Service Mesh concepts to make your ASP.NET Core microservices production-ready.
Why Observability Matters
Detect issues before users report them
Monitor service health & performance
Trace requests across multiple services
Debug failures in distributed systems
Key Pillars:
Metrics → Numbers (CPU, Memory, Response Time)
Logs → Events (errors, warnings, info)
