Monitoring Application
One of the requirement of most applications leaving in the cloud is the end to end (e2e) tests. Those tests are here to ensure that applications are stables each day. The work done inside this project was to monitor applications with e2e tests.
In order to fill this requirement, I used several Azure resources like Azure VM, Azure App Service, Azure SQL Server, Azure Storage Account but also some free tools like Cypress.IO or Puppeteer.
Azure VM
Azure App Service
Azure App Insights
Azure SQL Server
Azure Storage Account
The Problem
Applications leaving in the cloud could potentially be impacted with cloud updates done by your IT responsibles when configuring the cloud platform or directly by the cloud solution provider,
To ensure that an application is always up and running, enterprises need an efficient way to tests those applications to get notifications in case something failed.
The Solution
Within an Azure VM, I defined a job responsible to run e2e tests and to expose the results of those tests to an API.
Then this API can be called to get tests results from a monitoring solution or for a custom solution.
The Results
We integrated within an existing monitoring tools the results of the tests done by the job in the virtual machine. With this monitoring tools, it is then possible to create some alerts and specific dashboard.
