Welcome, and thank you for sharing you success !

I like the Elastic Stack too, I wrote an article about it's installation and usage on Kubernetes Clusters.

How long did you activate the APM in production if you did ? Did it put pressure on the system ?

Hello Benoit
Thank you and apologies for the delayed response.

The APM is deployed as part of every container running in Production. We use this to track the performance metrics of the containers so we can identify any issue for resolution. So far we haven't noticed any real performance overheads from the APM.

The only issue we had was with a conflict with how the multi-processing feature of one of the services was working but that we easily fixed with a parameter on APM.

Regards
