Server-Side Monitoring
Server-side monitoring is the practice of tracking and analyzing the performance, health, and behavior of server infrastructure and applications in real-time. It involves collecting metrics such as CPU usage, memory consumption, response times, error rates, and throughput to ensure reliability and optimize performance. This enables proactive issue detection, troubleshooting, and capacity planning for backend systems.
Developers should learn server-side monitoring to maintain application availability, identify performance bottlenecks, and debug issues in production environments. It is essential for ensuring service-level agreements (SLAs), improving user experience, and supporting scalability in distributed systems, particularly for microservices, APIs, and cloud-based deployments.
