Description

As far as we know - besides Kubernetes there is only Prometheus that belongs to the prestigious group of open-source projects that have their own documentary. Now why is that? Prometheus has emerged as the go-to solution for capturing metrics in modern software stacks, earning its status as the de facto standard. With its widespread adoption and a constantly expanding ecosystem of companion tools, Prometheus has become a pivotal component in the software development landscape.Join us as we sit down with Björn Rabenstein, an accomplished engineer at Grafana, who has dedicated nearly a decade to actively contributing to the Prometheus project. Björn takes us on a journey through the project's early days, unravels the reasons behind its meteoric rise, and provides us with insightful technical details, including his personal affinity for Histograms.Here are the links we discussed during the podcast for you to follow up:Prometheus Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT4fJNbfe14First Prometheus talk at SRECon 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFiEq3yYpI8The Zen of Prometheus: https://the-zen-of-prometheus.netlify.app/Talk from Observability Day KubeCon 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgINvIK9SYcSecret History of Prometheus Histograms: https://archive.fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/histograms/Prometheus Histograms: https://promcon.io/2019-munich/talks/prometheus-histograms-past-present-and-future/Native Histograms: https://promcon.io/2022-munich/talks/native-histograms-in-prometheus/PromQL for Histograms: https://promcon.io/2022-munich/talks/promql-for-native-histograms/

The brutal truth about digital performance engineering and operations.Andreas (aka Andi) Grabner and Brian Wilson are veterans of the digital performance world. Combined they have seen too many applications not scaling and performing up to expectations. With more rapid deployment models made possible through continuous delivery and a mentality shift sparked by DevOps they feel it’s time to share their stories. In each episode, they and their guests discuss different topics concerning performance, ranging from common performance problems for specific technology platforms to best practices in development, testing, deploying and monitoring software performance and user experience. Be prepared to learn a lot about metrics.Andi & Brian both work at Dynatrace, where they get to witness more real world customer performance issues than they can TPS report at.
