Monitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring the health and optimal performance of Spring Boot applications. It provides insights into the application’s behavior, identifies potential issues, and helps maintain high availability. In this article series on Spring observability, we will explore the importance of monitoring and how it can be achieved using Prometheus and Grafana. By leveraging these tools, developers gain visual monitoring capabilities, allowing them to track key metrics, detect anomalies, and make data-driven decisions to improve the performance and reliability of their Spring Boot applications. Join us on this journey to discover the power of observability in Spring applications.

In previous article we have discussed about PerformanceMonitorInterceptor for monitoring and boosting performance. Here is link to article.

Let’s jump start with system architecture and short introduction about Prometheus and Grafana monitoring tools.
