Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll take on the role of a Java/Kotlin developer tasked with implementing the service template’s observability-related features—key aspects of production-readiness—including a health check API, application metrics, and distributed tracing. Work will be done in Kotlin.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
