Automated Monitoring vs Manual Monitoring
Developers should learn and use Automated Monitoring to ensure system reliability, performance optimization, and efficient incident response in production environments, especially for cloud-native, microservices, or distributed applications meets developers should learn manual monitoring for scenarios where automated systems are unavailable, during initial development phases to understand system behavior, or in legacy environments with limited tooling. Here's our take.
Automated Monitoring
Developers should learn and use Automated Monitoring to ensure system reliability, performance optimization, and efficient incident response in production environments, especially for cloud-native, microservices, or distributed applications
Automated Monitoring
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Automated Monitoring to ensure system reliability, performance optimization, and efficient incident response in production environments, especially for cloud-native, microservices, or distributed applications
Pros
- +It is crucial for DevOps and SRE roles to maintain service-level objectives (SLOs), automate scaling, and debug issues quickly, reducing manual toil and improving user experience
- +Related to: observability, devops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Manual Monitoring
Developers should learn manual monitoring for scenarios where automated systems are unavailable, during initial development phases to understand system behavior, or in legacy environments with limited tooling
Pros
- +It's crucial for troubleshooting immediate issues, gaining hands-on insights into system performance, and as a fallback when automated monitoring fails, ensuring operational resilience and quick problem resolution
- +Related to: log-analysis, system-administration
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Automated Monitoring if: You want it is crucial for devops and sre roles to maintain service-level objectives (slos), automate scaling, and debug issues quickly, reducing manual toil and improving user experience and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Manual Monitoring if: You prioritize it's crucial for troubleshooting immediate issues, gaining hands-on insights into system performance, and as a fallback when automated monitoring fails, ensuring operational resilience and quick problem resolution over what Automated Monitoring offers.
