Metrics and analytics are crucial for building successful products at scale. Data is powerful. However, the room for misuse is significant — hence the cliche about lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Microservices are becoming quite a popular architectural pattern, both in the development of brand new systems and when decomposing legacy monoliths into smaller independent modules.
