Kamon (kamon.io) is a set of monitoring tools helping developers find and fix performance issues in microservices. It’s a perfect tool for Akka and Play Framework developers but it also works well with JVM. Kamon helps with microservices monitoring by providing a complete toolkit: an open source Kamon Telemetry instrumentation library and Kamon APM product for visualisation, dashboarding, debugging, alerting and generally a better insight into what’s going on in and with micorservices. In the words of one of Kamon’s customers - Kamon gives developers ease of mind. Their open-source instrumentation library is well known and received with Akka and Play developers globally. The best thing about Kamon Telemetry it’s very simple to start using, requires almost no coding and can be set-up in a matter of minutes. Developers can send Kamon Telemetry data to the visualization/dashboarding tool of their choice (most popular seem to be Prometheus and Zipkin). Kamon APM’s major benefit is it comes with a built-in dashboard for the most important metrics to monitor, taking the pain of figuring out what to monitor and building your own dashboards for weeks out of the monitoring.
