Project Overview
Built an end-to-end monitoring solution for a full-stack application, demonstrating modern DevOps practices including container orchestration, infrastructure as code, and comprehensive observability. The project served as a hands-on implementation of monitoring best practices for microservices.
Key Features
- Containerized Environment: Used Docker Compose for local development and testing
- Infrastructure as Code: Managed setup with Terraform for reproducible infrastructure
- Full Observability Stack: Integrated Prometheus for metrics, Loki for logs, and Grafana for visualization
- Reverse Proxy: Configured Traefik for routing and load balancing
- Full-Stack Application: Monitored both FastAPI backend and Next.js frontend
Technical Implementation
- Set up FastAPI backend and Next.js frontend as containerized services
- Configured Prometheus for metrics collection and alerting
- Implemented Loki with Promtail for centralized log aggregation
- Created Grafana dashboards for visualizing metrics and logs
- Used Traefik as reverse proxy and load balancer
- Managed infrastructure with Terraform for cloud deployment
Tools Integration
- Metrics: Prometheus for collection, Grafana for visualization
- Logging: Loki for storage, Promtail for log shipping
- Infrastructure: Terraform for provisioning, Docker Compose for local development
- Routing: Traefik for reverse proxy and service discovery
Outcomes
- Demonstrated ability to implement complete observability solutions
- Showcased integration of multiple DevOps tools in a cohesive system
- Created a reusable monitoring template for full-stack applications
- Illustrated infrastructure as code practices with Terraform
