Ask HN: How to built a HIGHLY scalable API monitoring tool?

2 points by mrameezraja 5y ago

I am looking for best resources to get started with to built a HIGHLY scalable API monitoring tool. I did some research to use Hangfire, AWS SNS/Lambda/SQS, couldn't figure out the best possible solution. There will be thousands of APIs and minimum interval could be 10secs.

Are you looking to see of they are up or to inspect the input/output pairs for correctness? For the first, Prometheus should suffice

  We are looking to built something in house using .NET Core, and we are looking for the first. Thanks

    I'd just use Prometheus then, no sense in reinventing the wheel

There are plenty of modern opensource scalabale monitoring systems: * Cortex https://cortexmetrics.io/ https://cortexmetrics.io/ * Thanos https://thanos.io/ https://thanos.io/ * VictoriaMetrics https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics * Timescale https://www.timescale.com/ https://www.timescale.com/ Choose any which fits your needs. Also, for "thousands of APIs and minimum interval could be 10secs" one Prometheus server might be more than enough.
