Modern Monitoring Approach: A Comprehensive Guide to Grafana, Prometheus, and DORA Metrics

Hi builders. Been a while i posted an article here. I've been so consumed with an internship program (HNG tech), where we're actually building a real-world product. Sneak peak: it's an AI grading system that schools and educational organisations can use. When it's out, i'll tell y'all about it :) But today, i'll be talking about monitoring your web applications, which will save you time and money (application downtime will make you lose money). This guide will walk you through building a powerful monitoring ecosystem that not only alerts you when things break but helps you understand why they break and how to improve your development practices.
