The first step of the Path to Production starts from our development environment, as the rest of the stages it changed quite a lot in the last ten years.

I clearly remember how I was coding during high school, from the Z80 suitcase where we would enter HEX instructions in the Numpad to Pascal, C and Borland Delphi.

Monitoring - Alerting Dashboards

This is the third and last blog post of the Monitoring series.

In the past two blog posts, I wrote about the following:

• Status Dashboards (https://lanziani.com/posts/2023/02/monitoring-status-dashboards/)
• T&T Dashboards (https://lanziani.com/posts/2023/02/monitoring-tandt-dashboards/)

This time around, we will look at Alert Dashboards.

Monitoring - Status Dashboards

Let’s talk about dashboards, shall we?

It’s not uncommon in my work to work on Monitoring or Observability problems.

A team or multiple teams deploy their applications in one of the environments, we can assume production, and they want to know how the System behaves.

The evolution I’ve seen is:
