There are a number of problems facing distributed systems today. One of those is monitoring microservices. With microservices, there are a multitude of small pieces of an application, often bundled with dependencies alongside it to ensure functionality across a variety of systems. If a developer only has a small amount of microservices in their stack, this is simple to keep track of. However, when one has hundreds of microservices and their dependencies to manage things can quickly get out of hand. Tooling becomes crucial once developers can no longer keep trans of a system from memory or within their current service visibility platform.
