Lots of times I have to measure certain things before I begin to fix a problem, and the above stated tooling (typically ran in Docker containers) has really really helped with that.
I have dashboards, warnings, circuit breakers, etc etc. that all help me monitor complex processes, and that help me react to ongoing changes (ex: when a 3rd-party website updates their DOM).
These are the things I need at my current role, and I'm woefully overwhelmed. Tying together processes spread out over multiple systems is a large portion of my role.
I'm having trouble tracking all the various scripts running on different versions of my own packages, and reacting to breaking changes on 3rd party sites. I definitely need a dashboard to tie all these automations together.
I'd love to chat if you're up for it.
