I want to track realtime heap size of my server process through some kind of web browser analytics dashboard. I write golang.

What should I use in the modern world? Some kind of prometheus thingie?

#golang #devops #sre #observability

@mnl
Do you need the data at a real-time resolution or does a 1 sec interval suffice? Do you want to persist data or are you okay with losing metric history?
If 1 sec and non-persistent, the prometheus GUI could do the job.
@witt depends, I’m more interested in getting the foundations on the service side right than the frontend
@witt I’m gonna go prometheus and Jäger (done both in the past, forgot all the details)
