I am passionate about Observability already for a long time. Monitoring tools have been helping me already for quite some years to get insights in the behavior of a service and especially a landscape of services. In 2016 I was working at a project where we were facing a number of problems and didn’t really have a clue what was going on in our application landscape. I suggested to work on more insights and we stared using Telegraf, InfluxDB, Prometheus and Grafana. Grafana 3.1 was the first release we used. The more metrics we put into InfluxDB the more insight we gained. We were able to move from reactive to proactive. The load on the systems was doubling every year, so we knew we had to make sure we were prepared. And because of the insights we were able to invest in the next bottleneck so we could serve customers with the right quality.
