Criteo switched from monolithic applications to microservices, which introduced the challenge of monitoring hundreds of interacting applications. To address this, the "Central Monitoring" tool was created during a Hackathon. Central Monitoring is a web application that visualizes interactions between applications hosted in different data centers, providing an up-to-date view of the services architecture. It displays a graph of services and their statuses, along with quick access to documentation for further investigation.

DevOps and cloud engineers do not necessarily need coding skills to excel in their roles. However, having coding skills can significantly enhance their capabilities and make them more competitive in the job market. DevOps engineers bridge the gap between developers and operations teams, while cloud engineers design, deploy, and maintain cloud-based infrastructure and services. Coding can help these professionals collaborate effectively with developers, communicate technical requirements, troubleshoot issues, and create custom workflows. Python and Go are two recommended programming languages for those looking to learn coding for DevOps and cloud engineering, with Python offering versatility and Go being popular for DevOps tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
