Observability is a topic covering mainly the capacity to observe the events happening in the system and then reach conclusions about the system, and it’s users based on this information.
The API Mediation Layer’s Gateway service as the main place handling all the traffic is in a good position to integrate the information into any relevant observability solution.
At the moment the API Mediation Layer squad owns a Metrics Service which is available as a technical preview for more than a year and we didn’t see any uptake. We believe that one of the reasons is that the customers already have some visualization and management tooling in place and as such we believe that we should focus on simplification of integration with distributed systems such as ELK stack or Kafka via which it’s possible to integrate with many other systems.
As part of the whole effort, we intend to End-of-life the monitoring service and explore the functionality of integration with automation to handle properly services that are down and need to be restarted or recreated.
