Own infrastructure
The product runs on its own servers or in Kubernetes, and no one systematically watches their state.
Prometheus
An open-source monitoring system that collects server and app metrics. We choose it when a product runs on its own infrastructure and downtime costs sales.
WHY WE CHOOSE THIS
Without monitoring, a business learns about an outage from customers who could not pay. Prometheus spots signs of overload before the crash and alerts the team right away.
Downtime costs money
A store, SaaS or booking service loses customers for every minute it is unavailable.
Control without costly subscriptions
The business wants full monitoring but is not ready to pay a SaaS service per server.
Server and database monitoring
Exporters for CPU, memory, disk and database metrics with load history.
Kubernetes clusters
Automatic service discovery and metrics collection from every container.
Application business metrics
Custom metrics for orders, payments and errors straight from the product code.
Incident alerts
Alertmanager rules with notifications to Slack, Telegram or email.

Does a small project need monitoring?+
It depends on what downtime costs. For a landing page on managed hosting, a simple uptime check is enough. But if a product on its own servers takes orders or payments, systematic monitoring is needed from day one.
Why Prometheus and not Datadog?+
It depends on budget and team. Datadog is faster to launch, but its pricing depends on the number of servers and data volume. Prometheus is free and runs on your infrastructure, so the data stays with you and costs do not grow with every new server.
Will a manager understand the dashboards?+
Yes. We connect Prometheus to Grafana and build separate dashboards: technical ones for the team and simple ones for management, showing availability, errors and key figures such as order count.
Product reliability is measured, not promised.
At GVSPACE we set up infrastructure monitoring with Prometheus for products on their own servers and in Kubernetes. We collect server, database and application metrics, add business figures such as orders and payment errors, and configure Alertmanager alerts and Grafana dashboards. This way the team sees problems before customers write about them, and management understands the real state of the system.
