Service Monitoring tracks the health, availability, and performance of applications and infrastructure to ensure they meet defined service levels.
Monitoring helps detect anomalies, latency spikes, memory leaks, or outages before they impact users. It’s a key part of observability, alongside logging and tracing, and supports proactive incident management.
Tools like Prometheus, Datadog, New Relic, and Grafana allow teams to set alerts, visualize trends, and respond faster to issues. Monitoring also supports capacity planning and optimization — helping teams deliver reliable digital experiences at scale.
