AWS CloudWatch vs Prometheus
Developers should use AWS CloudWatch when deploying applications on AWS to gain visibility into system performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure reliability meets developers should learn prometheus for monitoring cloud-native applications, microservices, and containerized environments like kubernetes, as it excels at collecting metrics from dynamic targets and providing real-time insights into system performance and reliability. Here's our take.
AWS CloudWatch
Developers should use AWS CloudWatch when deploying applications on AWS to gain visibility into system performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure reliability
AWS CloudWatch
Nice PickDevelopers should use AWS CloudWatch when deploying applications on AWS to gain visibility into system performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure reliability
Pros
- +It is essential for monitoring AWS services like EC2, Lambda, and RDS, setting up automated responses to events, and analyzing logs for debugging and compliance purposes
- +Related to: aws-ec2, aws-lambda
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Prometheus
Developers should learn Prometheus for monitoring cloud-native applications, microservices, and containerized environments like Kubernetes, as it excels at collecting metrics from dynamic targets and providing real-time insights into system performance and reliability
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for setting up alerting based on defined thresholds, troubleshooting issues through its powerful querying capabilities, and integrating with visualization tools like Grafana for dashboards
- +Related to: grafana, kubernetes
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use AWS CloudWatch if: You want it is essential for monitoring aws services like ec2, lambda, and rds, setting up automated responses to events, and analyzing logs for debugging and compliance purposes and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Prometheus if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for setting up alerting based on defined thresholds, troubleshooting issues through its powerful querying capabilities, and integrating with visualization tools like grafana for dashboards over what AWS CloudWatch offers.
