Monitoring Engineering
Purpose
Vibe-coders ship apps and have no idea what's happening in production. Users encounter errors silently. Slow endpoints go unnoticed. This skill sets up the minimum viable observability layer so that when something breaks, you know about it before the user complains.
Monitoring Stack
| Layer | Tool | What it catches |
|---|---|---|
| Error tracking | Sentry | Exceptions, stack traces, user context |
| Structured logs | structlog | Request logs, audit events, debug traces |
| App metrics | Prometheus + Grafana | Latency, throughput, error rates |
| Uptime | BetterStack / UptimeRobot | Is the server even responding? |
Start with Sentry (10 min setup, immediate value). Add Prometheus when you have enough traffic to need dashboards.
