JVM Layer Observability for Microservices on Kubernentes

Overview

This repository focuses on building JVM-layer observability for production-grade microservices deployed on Kubernetes. Unlike general Kubernetes cluster monitoring, the emphasis here is on the JVM metrics of microservices themselves across different operational stages:

• Runtime / Integration Testing / Load Testing phases
• JVM-level metrics: memory usage, GC behavior, threads, CPU, and other key performance indicators.
• Metric computation & Grafana dashboards to visualize trends and fluctuations at different stages.

The goal is to observe, understand, and anlyze JVM behavior of microservices under real-world conditions and workloads.

Project Scope

JVM Metrics Collection

Stage-Specific Observability

Grafana Dashboards

Goals

• Build a hands-on, production-aligned observability framework for JVM-based microservices on Kubernetes.
• Analyze JVM metrics behavior under different operational stages
• Generate reusable Grafana dashboards and metric computation patterns
• Serve as a learning and reference hub for microservice JVM monitoring and SRE observability best practices
