APM for Kubernetes: Monitor Distributed Applications at Scale

When a payment service runs across 12 pods — each serving different customer segments — and an authentication layer spans three namespaces, performance issues can originate in both the application code and the orchestration layer. The challenge is linking request-level performance data with what’s happening inside the cluster: container CPU limits, pod scheduling decisions, and node-level events.

K3s Vs. K8s: Which Kubernetes Is Right For You?

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source, portable, and scalable container orchestration platform. With K8s, you can reliably manage distributed systems for your applications, enabling declarative configuration and automatic deployment. Yet, K8s can be resource-intensive and costly, with a rather steep learning curve. But in 2019, a lighter, faster, and potentially more cost-effective alternative appeared: K3s. Still, K3s is not a magic wand that works for all Kubernetes deployments.
