Out of the Box Observability and Tracing in Kubernetes with Kong, Zipkin and Prometheus
summary
Shows how to deploy a Kong ingress controller on Kubernetes (minikube) and register three mock services (billing, invoice, comments), enable the Prometheus plugin globally, and hook Grafana + Prometheus for live metrics while sending Zipkin-compatible traces (Jaeger) for distributed tracing. Claims Kong 1.3, >1,000,000 nodes and ~500 plugins; demo runs Helm charts and CRDs, produces metrics and traces out of the box, with a brief Grafana load hiccup but core tracing/metrics setup completes.
