Product Introduction¶
Observability¶
In the cloud-native era, enterprises adopt deployment methods such as microservices, containers, and Serverless while following changes in IT architecture and cloud-native technology practices. At the same time, they must integrate the perspectives of development and business departments and possess broader and more proactive capabilities than traditional monitoring. This has led to traditional monitoring technologies and tools no longer meeting the requirements of complex IT systems in terms of controllability and stability.
In 2018, CNCF introduced the term "Observability" into the IT field, stating that observability is a capability that must be possessed in the cloud-native era. Since then, "observability" has become one of the hottest topics in the cloud-native technology domain. Subsequently, CNCF published the Observability White Paper ( Read the Chinese version), which provides detailed explanations. The white paper mentions the "three pillars of observability," namely Metrics, Logs, and Traces, which have since become common knowledge in the IT field.
Guance¶
Based on our foresight and firm belief in IT observability, our company started developing "the cloud-era system observability platform —— Guance" as early as 2018. After five years of meticulous refinement by a professional team, Guance was officially launched on April 28, 2022.
Since entering the market, Guance has maintained its long-standing "bi-weekly iteration" update frequency, actively collecting feedback from users of different types, expanding coverage across various technology stacks, optimizing user experience in product usage details, and enhancing the robust stability of public cloud and private platforms.
As a unified real-time monitoring application with observability, Guance helps users quickly achieve system observability, uniformly meeting monitoring needs related to cloud platforms, cloud-native environments, applications, and businesses, building end-to-end observability for every complete application. Moreover, Guance aims not only to focus on observability within the "three pillars of observability" but also to help enterprises pursue observability in "testing, pre-production, and production environments." It even effectively connects "development, testing, and operations teams" throughout the enterprise architecture, achieving full lifecycle observability of software development.
Core Modules¶
Guance, as an end-to-end observable application system platform, can also be understood as a powerful data analysis platform. Corresponding to the flow of observability data, several core modules of Guance run through it.
