Monitoring your application is probably one of the most important things in production, so collecting and providing metrics about your business will make it easier to understand the impacts of failure scenarios and also monitor your business performance in real-time. In this Lightning Talk, we will discuss how Kafka can help you to gather data from different places and persist them to a database to be monitored in a Grafana dashboard, things like producing and consuming events, defining a schema, working with time-series database, and creating your dashboards with custom metrics are key points of this conversation.
