• Know which protocol to choose, depending on the situation
• Fine-tune your application containers for use in production
• Track down errors in a distributed setting to determine which service is at fault
• Simplify app code and increase performance by offloading work to a reverse proxy
• Build dashboards to monitor service health and throughput
• Find out why so many different tools are required when operating in an enterprise environment
