Do you use service log or metric data for non-dev related purposes?
An anecdote - I worked on a project in a past life where we needed to turn off the publishing of various "deprecated" internal metrics. We found out by happenstance a week before going live that a sister team was consuming our internal metrics to generate critical real time financial information. Do you have similar stories of log/metric data being used in business critical functions? If so, how did you manage this?
- kevinslin 3y agoI realize that a fair answer is "no - you shouldn't be doing that" but like .env files, I find that its a widespread practice. Curious if others have managed a way of dealing with it besides hope someone in the room has tribal knowledge of what metrics have become system dependencies
- ruming 3y agoInteresting, I don't think we are actively managing it. Curious to hear what others are doing.
