Use Cases

Real-Time Infrastructure Observability

Track CPU, memory, and disk usage across mini PC cluster nodes. Monitor Docker container resources, Kong API gateway metrics, and Golang service performance. Prometheus collectors feed data to beautiful Grafana dashboards with 1-second granularity.

Application Performance Intelligence

Custom Golang metrics expose business KPIs directly in code using prometheus/client_golang. Track API response times, user registrations, payment transactions, and error rates. Alert via n8n when SLA thresholds are breached.

Cost Optimization Dashboards

Visualize resource efficiency - containers per node, cost per service, and scaling recommendations. Business stakeholders see real-time user analytics while developers monitor technical debt metrics, all in unified dashboards.

Getting Started

Create powerful dashboards to visualize your infrastructure metrics. Connect to data sources like Prometheus and build custom charts to monitor performance, resource usage, and application health.
