Asserts

As builders and operators of cloud applications and founding engineers of industry-leading APM products, we were pinched every day: why was it still so hard to troubleshoot and optimize our app with the modern APM tools? We had assertions for our compile time with Unit, Component, and Integration tests but couldnt apply the same rigor to our runtim... e. There wasnt a platform to transcribe our system design embedded in the four golden signals and health metrics into Runtime Assertions. When we started creating Alerts to track these failures and dashboards to view the metrics, they were disjoint, too many to manage, too noisy to correlate, and will go out of date too soon with our continuous release. As engineers, we wished for an adaptive and purposefully built solution for distributed systems and cloud architecture, and most importantly, that allowed us to manage our Monitoring as a Code.Read More
