Tips for troubleshooting cloud-native applications

Despite the challenges, there are a number of things that you as a developer can do to troubleshoot cloud-native applications in a multi-cloud environment. Here are some tips:

  • Use a centralized monitoring tool
  • Use a cloud-native logging tool
  • Use a cloud-native debugging tool
  • Use a cloud-native observability platform

Let us understand each one of them one by one.

Use a centralized monitoring tool

To handle the complexities, it is more important than ever to have a comprehensive monitoring solution in place. A centralized monitoring tool, such as the open source Zabbix or the paid offering from Datadog, can help you collect and view data from all of your cloud-native applications in one place, making it easier to identify and troubleshoot problems. In addition to its overarching benefits, employing a centralized monitoring tool offers a host of specific advantages:

  • Streamlined data collection...
