As companies increasingly adopt microservice architectures, effective monitoring and logging become critical due to the segmented nature of applications, which can involve numerous microservices that may encounter errors or hog resources. Although setting up monitoring and logging manually is possible, it is often labor-intensive and error-prone, particularly as the number of microservices grows. Instead, utilizing a service connectivity platform like Kong Konnect simplifies this process by centralizing the setup and management of services and their monitoring and logging capabilities. By deploying Kong Gateway and enabling plugins such as Prometheus for metrics and Loggly for centralized logging, organizations can efficiently manage their microservices architecture, allowing for high-quality and rapid software development without the pitfalls of manual configuration.
