Hybrid Monitoring vs Siloed Monitoring

Developers should learn hybrid monitoring when building or maintaining applications that operate across on-premises and cloud environments, such as legacy systems migrated to the cloud or multi-cloud deployments meets developers should understand siloed monitoring primarily to recognize its limitations and transition toward more integrated approaches like unified observability. Here's our take.

Hybrid Monitoring

Developers should learn hybrid monitoring when building or maintaining applications that operate across on-premises and cloud environments, such as legacy systems migrated to the cloud or multi-cloud deployments

Hybrid Monitoring

Nice Pick

Developers should learn hybrid monitoring when building or maintaining applications that operate across on-premises and cloud environments, such as legacy systems migrated to the cloud or multi-cloud deployments

Pros

  • +It is essential for ensuring consistent performance, troubleshooting issues that span different infrastructures, and meeting compliance requirements in complex IT landscapes
  • +Related to: observability, apm-application-performance-monitoring

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Siloed Monitoring

Developers should understand siloed monitoring primarily to recognize its limitations and transition toward more integrated approaches like unified observability

Pros

  • +It's relevant in legacy environments, large enterprises with departmental divides, or when using niche tools that don't share data
  • +Related to: unified-observability, distributed-tracing

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Hybrid Monitoring if: You want it is essential for ensuring consistent performance, troubleshooting issues that span different infrastructures, and meeting compliance requirements in complex it landscapes and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Siloed Monitoring if: You prioritize it's relevant in legacy environments, large enterprises with departmental divides, or when using niche tools that don't share data over what Hybrid Monitoring offers.
