Title:
Complex Open Source Applications like Apache Kafka Provide Great Benefits but Come with Greater Risk Learn How to Reduce These Risks with End-to-End Monitoring Tools
Abstract:
Kafka communicates within a larger complex & evolving environment. The current modular approach to the integration means that the structure of the software stack is much more dynamic than in the past & operators no longer have the time to become intimate with how dependent components interact. The number of dependencies combined with lack of familiarity can create significant risks to the business including increased outages & longer time to resolve incidents. Both can result in loss of revenue & customers.
These risks are significantly reduced by applying best-practice monitoring. Monitoring can provide a complete end-to-end view of the touch points within the application flow, so they are presented in comprehensive service-based views. This provides the user with a true single-pane of glass for monitoring & alerting for Kafka & its dependent technologies.
