Production-grade monitoring platform combining Prometheus, Grafana, AWS X-Ray and CloudWatch — giving full-stack visibility into cloud-native applications at scale.
Built on Amazon EKS with a blend of self-managed open-source tools and AWS managed services.
Full-stack visibility across infrastructure, Kubernetes, application and database layers.
| Layer | Key Metrics | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | CPU & memory, disk I/O, network traffic | node_exporterkube-state-metrics |
| Kubernetes | Pod health, restart count, resource limits vs usage, deployment status | kube-state-metrics |
| Application | HTTP request rate, error rate (5xx), latency (p95, p99), throughput | Prometheus client libs |
| Database | RDS CPU, connections count, read/write latency | CloudWatch exporterAMP |
Proactive alerts ensure critical issues are caught before they impact users.
IAM Roles for Service Accounts — fine-grained access control for Kubernetes service accounts.
All critical components deployed in private subnets, minimizing public internet exposure.
Prometheus ↔ Grafana communication encrypted in transit with TLS certificates.
| Component | Budget Lab | Production |
|---|---|---|
| Prometheus | Self-managed on EKS | AMP Managed |
| Grafana | Self-hosted EC2 | AMG Managed |
| EKS | Minimal nodes | Multi-AZ HA |
| Architecture | Single AZ | High Availability |
