Skyramp provides a sample project, sample-microservices, which serves as an excellent starting point for demonstrating testing and mocking with a full-featured distributed application. The application is based on Google's Online Boutique repo, which is an e-commerce store consisting of 11 different microservices. The docker-compose-demo branch referenced above showcases how Skyramp can be seamlessly integrated with Docker Compose for testing microservices with no local setup required. You can also clone the repository and explore the structure of the microservices setup for your own purposes.

Our starting point is the hot-code-reload-demo branch in Skyramp's letsramp/sample-microservices GitHub repo. You can use your browser to navigate to the correct branch in the repo here. The sample-microservices repo contains a demo project based on GCP's Online Boutique with added support for REST and Thrift APIs. This sample e-commerce application is perfect for demonstrating cloud-native development and testing, including debugging with Hot Code Reload with Skyramp.

This blog features the Skyramp fork of Google’s popular cloud-native microservices demo app, Online Boutique. Online Boutique is a web-based e-commerce app containing microservices that mimic real-world services, such as a product catalog, shopping cart, ad service, recommendation service, payment service, and others. The services use gRPC APIs by default, but Skyramp has also added support for REST and Thrift APIs.

I'm planning to host this application: Google Microservices Demo (It's an online shop)

Well, what is considered "real" data here? Why couldn't you simply set up a managed k8s cluster with some prometheus monitoring and run the microservices-demo on it. There is even a synthetic load generator. You could purposefully add in specific kinds of faults into the working system, ones that are supported in metasploit so you can automate intrusions. Consider some goals for gaining access like: exfiltration, denial of service, ransomware. Then consider how you might detect such attacks purely from what you can read out of the prometheus time series data (eg. high egress traffic plus high req/s to redis might mean an exfiltration).

The microservices source code repository for this project is from this link; google-microservices-demo, containing 11 services we will deploy with this demo. Also, from the same repo, it was illustrated and visualized how these services are connected to each other including a 3rd party service for database - redis. Among the services, Frontend serves as an entrypoint for all the services receiving external requests from the browser. Meanwhile, the load generator deployment is optional, so in this demo we wouldn't bother deploying it.

This demo repo might be a good starting point: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo

OpenAPI and possibly developing reusable, versioned client libraries could help, but it's a major undertaking that gRPC makes redundant. I'd be tempted to use grpc-gateway even if I had to implement a REST API. Try looking into buf and monorepo structures for proto management, e.g. something like GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo. For more thorough proto and grpc-gateway definition examples, see googleapis/googleapis.

I also just discovered Google Cloud's microservices-demo repository, which has some samples of how to set up otel observability and GCP-specific Go profiling on GCP. I wish I'd found it before setting up otel myself.

You should also check out SigNoz [1], we are an open-core alternative to DataDog - based natively on OpenTelemetry. We also have a cloud product if you don't want to host yourself

You might want to have a look at SigNoz [1] as well. We have also published some perf benchmark wrt Elastic & Loki [2] and have some cool features like logs pipeline for manipulating logs before ingestion

We also have traces, metrics and logs in a single application which makes correlation across them much easier. From what I can understand from Quickwit website, they use Grafana and Jaeger for UI.

Using user's private with no opt-out option is unethical.

If anyone is looking self-hosted for alternatives then they should try SigNoz: https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz

SigNoz is a great New Relic alternative that is open-source and provides three signals in a single pane of glass. You can monitor logs, metrics, and traces and correlate signals for better insights into application performance.

You need a backend to which you can send the collected data for monitoring and visualization. SigNoz is an OpenTelemetry-native APM that is well-suited for visualizing OpenTelemetry data.

Once the data is collected, it needs to be sent to a backend. That’s where SigNoz comes into the picture. SigNoz is an open-source OpenTelemetry-native APM that provides logs, metrics and traces under a single pane of glass.
