Metrics from tracing data
Metrics for RESTful web services are essential for evaluating and optimizing the performance of these services. These metrics provide insights into how efficiently APIs handle requests, process data, and deliver responses.
This helps in ensuring that RESTful web services operate smoothly, providing a better user experience and meeting business objectives.
With Micrometer Tracing in place, you can extract meaningful metrics from your trace data. Metrics give you quantitative insights into your API’s performance and health.
Metrics like latency, throughput, and error rates are key to understanding how your REST API performs under load. These metrics help detect slow services, overloaded endpoints, or frequent errors that need to be addressed.
Types of metrics to monitor
Some common metrics to track in REST APIs include:
- Request duration: How long does it take for the API to respond?
- Request count: The number of requests...
