Monitoring with Prometheus
Integrate Prometheus for metric collection and build dashboards to monitor your NestJS application's performance and health.
Why Monitor Your App?
Monitoring is crucial for understanding your application's health and performance. It helps you catch issues early, debug problems, and ensure a smooth user experience.
- Performance: Is your API fast enough?
- Availability: Is your service online and responding?
- Errors: Are there unexpected failures?
- Resource Usage: How much CPU, memory, or disk space is being used?
Without monitoring, you're flying blind!
Meet Prometheus
Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system designed for reliability and scalability. It collects metrics from your applications and infrastructure, storing them as time-series data.
Think of it as a vigilant observer, constantly gathering data points about your system's behavior over time.
