Observability and Monitoring in Distributed Architectures Virtual Internship

In this virtual internship, students will learn to implement comprehensive observability and monitoring solutions for complex, distributed systems. They will gain hands-on experience using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger to monitor and analyze the performance, health, and behavior of microservices-based architectures. By the end of the internship, students will be able to design and deploy robust observability pipelines that provide visibility into the inner workings of distributed applications, enabling them to quickly identify and resolve issues, optimize performance, and ensure reliable service delivery.

Tasks & Milestones

Observability Fundamentals

Intermediate

In this task, students will explore the core concepts of observability and monitoring, including the differences between metrics, logs, and traces, and how they can be used to understand the health and performance of distributed systems.

4 hours

Observability Tool Selection

Intermediate

In this task, students will research and evaluate different observability tools, such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger, and determine the most appropriate solutions for a given distributed system use case.

6 hours

Prometheus Installation and Configuration

Intermediate

In this task, students will install and configure Prometheus to collect metrics from a sample distributed application.

8 hours

Defining Appropriate Metrics

Intermediate

In this task, students will learn how to define and configure appropriate metrics for monitoring a distributed system, including both system-level and application-specific metrics.

6 hours

Grafana Setup and Configuration

Intermediate

In this task, students will install and configure Grafana to connect to Prometheus and visualize the metrics collected in the previous module.

8 hours

Advanced Grafana Visualizations

Intermediate

In this task, students will explore more advanced Grafana features and techniques to create sophisticated dashboards that provide deeper insights into the behavior and performance of their distributed applications.

8 hours

Jaeger Installation and Configuration

Intermediate

In this task, students will install and configure Jaeger to collect and store distributed traces from a sample microservices application.

8 hours

Analyzing Distributed Traces

Intermediate

In this task, students will learn how to analyze and visualize distributed traces using the Jaeger UI, identifying performance bottlenecks, errors, and other issues within their microservices-based application.
