Gaining Insights of your Microservices with Elastic APM
summary
Elastic APM is an open‑source APM wired into Cloud Foundry: a React front end plus two Spring Boot services send traces via Java and JS agents to Elasticsearch and viewable in Kibana; distributed tracing shows waterfalls (example transactions: 500 ms, 2.5 s) and custom spans capture business fields; machine‑learning anomaly jobs flag aberrant latency (expected ~2 ms vs observed 4.8 ms, severity 90). Integrations include space‑drain logs, Logstash/Beats ingestion, and recommended three‑node Elasticsearch deployments.
