prometheus VS Echo

FlatBuffers does the trick as a better replacement to ProtoBuf when running in some resource-critical devices. We were working on a project that leverage Arrow IPC (internally FlatBuffers) and shared memory to collect metrics on edge devices with limit CPU and memory, hopefully we can open source it soon.

But in this case the format is defined by [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/prompb/re...) and we just adopt that.

WriteRequest::timeseries is a vector (https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/main/prompb/re...) and

Developers widely use Prometheus as a system for operational monitoring and alerting for their projects. Here is a list of tools for monitoring frontend services with Prometheus.

Just to give an example of the power of Go for CLI builds, you may have already used or at least heard of Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Terraform, but what do they all have in common? They all have a large part of their usability via CLI and are developed in Go 🐿.

Distributed system administrators need mechanisms and tools for monitoring individual nodes in order to analyze the system and promptly detect anomalies. Developers also need effective mechanisms for analyzing, diagnosing issues, and identifying bugs in protocol implementations. Logging, tracing, and collecting metrics are common observability techniques to allow monitoring and obtaining diagnostic information from the system; most of the explored code bases use these techniques. OpenTelemetry and Prometheus are popular open-source monitoring solutions, which are used in many of the explored code bases.

Setting up monitoring for a system, especially one involving GRPC communication, provides crucial visibility into its operations. In this guide, we walked through the steps to instrument both a GRPC server and client with Prometheus metrics, exposed those metrics via an HTTP endpoint, and visualized them using Grafana. The Docker-Compose setup simplified the deployment of both Prometheus and Grafana, ensuring a streamlined process.

Alerting and Notification: Select a tool with flexible alerting mechanisms to proactively detect anomalies or deviations from defined thresholds. Consider asking questions like "Does this tool offer customizable alerting options and support notification channels that suit our team's communication preferences?" A tool like Prometheus provides robust alerting capabilities.

Prometheus

Prometheus: Open-source monitoring system. Often used together with Grafana.

After that, you will set up a metrics server container. It will use Prometheus.io, an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit designed to collect, store, and query time series data, making it a tool for monitoring your systems' performance and health through metrics.

https://echo.labstack.com is pretty good

If you come from NodeJS background, you may find Echo (https://echo.labstack.com) most similar to express.

Can I try to rewrite it using the following? I'll just hand you the code I don't care about credit, I just enjoy cleaning things up. - https://github.com/spf13/cobra - https://echo.labstack.com/ - SQLite - and not a bunch of if statements

Use a library for HTTP serving, such as Gin, Chi, or Echo. I personally use Chi, as it's just the right level of abstraction for how I like to work. Despite what others say here, don't try to re-implement everything in a modern serving library using the standard library.

Here I'm not really sure what you're referring to: * You can set request timeout and it has nothing to do with whether you handled your error or not. * In most cases you either bubble it up the callstack or do something with error in place you o received it i.e. you switch to default value, retry or sth along those lines. In some cases frameworks like echo will translate error into 5XX response for you if you don't do anything with it in top level handler. * Panics are recoverable. Also in case your handler panics it won't crash entire server -> stdlib HTTP server just closes connection, frameworks might even provide panic handler which will return 5XX instead of nothing. * try/catch doesn't really solve anything I mentioned here ¯_(ツ)_/¯. You just hope somebody caught your exception somewhere else.
