Metrics and Dashboards with Micrometer and Prometheus
Expose application metrics with Micrometer, scrape them with Prometheus, and visualize trends in Grafana for full observability.
Beyond Logs and Traces
Logs tell you what happened and traces show request paths, but metrics reveal trends over time: request rates, error percentages, memory use. They complete the observability picture.
What Is Micrometer?
Micrometer is a metrics facade, like SLF4J but for metrics. You instrument once and export to many backends such as Prometheus or Datadog.
