Description: Health monitoring is the process of continuously assessing the health of systems and applications. This approach allows development and operations teams to identify potential issues before they escalate into critical failures. Through metrics and alerts, aspects such as performance, availability, and integrity of systems can be monitored. Health monitoring tools collect real-time data, facilitating informed decision-making and resource optimization. Additionally, health monitoring is often integrated into Infrastructure as Code practices, where infrastructure configurations are managed through code, allowing for greater automation and consistency in application deployment. This not only improves operational efficiency but also enables a more agile response to incidents, ensuring that systems remain in an optimal state. In an increasingly complex IT environment, health monitoring has become an essential practice to ensure business continuity and end-user satisfaction.
