Ever wondered how Netflix knows when their service is down? Or how Instagram detects problems before users even notice? This hands-on workshop from the Ada Lovelace Summit reveals the monitoring secrets that keep major tech companies running smoothly. - What You'll Learn: Build a real e-commerce web application from scratch Set up professional monitoring dashboards used by companies like Meta, Google, and Netflix Understand RED metrics (Rate, Error, Duration) - the vital signs of code Use industry-standard tools: Grafana, Prometheus, and Tempo Detect and fix production issues before they impact users Learn about Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Production Engineering careers - Perfect For: Computer science students Anyone interested in backend engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles Developers who want to understand how their code performs in production Students curious about what happens AFTER you deploy code - Technologies Covered: Grafana (visualization dashboards) Prometheus (metrics collection) Tempo (distributed tracing) Docker & GitHub Codespaces FastAPI & React - Key Concepts: The Doherty Threshold (why response times under 400ms matter) Monitoring vs. Alerting Blameless post-mortems Load testing and performance analysis Workshop led by Greg from Opportunity Hack and Meta as part of the Ada Lovelace Summit, organized by SoDA (Software Developers Association) and WiCS (Women in Computer Science) at Arizona State University. š Get the code: sre.ohack.dev #SRE #ProductionEngineering #Monitoring #Grafana #Prometheus #TechCareers #SoftwareEngineering #DevOps #AdaLovelaceSummit #ASU #WomenInTech #Observability #WebDevelopment
