Kubernetes

Since a sufficiently large set of microservices requires some level of coordination, we're going to assume you are using Kubernetes for orchestration. We're also assuming you have a time series database like Prometheus or InfluxDB for storing your metrics data. You might also need an ingress controller, such as the one Kong provides to control traffic flow, and a service mesh, such as Kuma, to better facilitate connections between services.
