At the beginning of this chapter, we learned how to collect metrics throughout our application. That's the first step to successfully maintaining an application that is running smoothly in production. By collecting metrics and periodically analyzing them, we're aware of how well our application is performing. During this analysis, we will surely spot outliers or some odd behavior from a certain function or module, which will drive us to analyze its cause.
