The number of APIs is growing consistently as more and more businesses integrate them and use them in their core business. That means that any degradation or downtime in their API could be crucial as could impact their customers or revenues. As the API ecosystem has been growing, it is still missing better tooling for API developers, maintainers and operators. One of the missing things that would increase the overall quality of APIs is monitoring and observability. This project showcases how the market still needs better tools for monitoring APIs and a proposal to make a language-agnostic with minimal integration effort possible solution.
