monitoring and alerting for algo infrastructure - grafana + prometheus setup
realized last month that i had a massive blind spot in my infrastructure: monitoring. my algos were running 24/7 but i had no idea if they were running WELL until i checked PnL at end of day. that’s like driving with your eyes closed and checking if you crashed when you stop.
