Would be great to start with something simple, for example, a logging framework that would allow generate:

| < date time > | < service parent domain > | < name of service generating the data > | < entity associated to the metric (client, branch, etc) > | < metric name > | < value >

This would allow using tools like grafana to grab that data and put on a dashboard, allowing real time business insights like $$ of transactions processed via ATM or card network
We may just need to think whether specifically having a client ID (even if transformed to UUID) is a good idea given GDPR regulations.
