Performance Monitoring

As a full-stack developer, the monitoring of your application involves the full 360 view of the app, from the frontend into the backend, including the database, and other involved systems.

Frontend Monitoring:

• Use tools like Google Lighthouse or Web Vitals to track load times, interactivity, and rendering.
• Monitor user behavior with tools like New Relic Browser or LogRocket.

Backend Monitoring:

• Use APM tools (e.g., Datadog, Dynatrace) to monitor server response times, database query performance, and API latency.

Logging:

• Centralize logs with tools like ELK Stack or CloudWatch Logs for analyzing bottlenecks.
• Critical for systems with many individual microservices and different clients working together.

Database Monitoring:

• Use query profilers (e.g., MySQL EXPLAIN) and monitor database health with tools like Percona Monitoring.

Alerting:

• Set up alerts for anomalies or thresholds using tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
