Monitoring QuestDB in Kubernetes
As any experienced infrastructure operator will tell you, monitoring and observability tools are critical for supporting production cloud services. Real-time analytics and logs help to detect anomalies and aid in debugging, ultimately improving the ability of a team to recover from (and even prevent) incidents. Since container technologies are drastically changing the infrastructure world, new tools are constantly emerging to help solve these problems. Kubernetes and its ecosystem have addressed the need for infrastructure monitoring with a variety of newly emerging solutions. Thanks to the orchestration benefits that Kubernetes provides, these tools are easy to install, maintain, and use.
Luckily, QuestDB is built with these concerns in mind. From the presence of core database features to the support for orchestration tooling, QuestDB is easy to deploy on containerized infrastructure. This tutorial will describe how to use today's most popular open-source tooling to monitor your QuestDB instance running in a Kubernetes cluster.
