Unified observability platform

Problem

Kubernetes environments ran separate, redundantly provisioned monitoring stacks. That increased AWS costs and forced engineers to jump between tools during investigation, with no shared operational view of system health.

Approach

I designed a production-ready LGTM platform to aggregate logs, distributed traces and metrics in a central operations cluster. OpenTelemetry-compatible pipelines and mTLS secured cross-cluster collection, while consistent metadata and Grafana dashboards gave engineering and business teams a common source of operational signal.

Impact

• Consolidating duplicated monitoring infrastructure reduced AWS resource usage and cost.
• Engineers gained one investigation path across environments, reducing context switching and operational toil.
• Richer, consistent metadata made the same telemetry useful to both technical and business stakeholders.
