Positioning Open Source: Prometheus
In today’s episode of The Business of Cloud Native, I talked with Julien Pivotto and Richard Hartmann, two of the maintainers of Prometheus, about how the project started, how it’s evolved over the years (and how it’s stayed the same) as well as some novel ways Prometheus is used in the real world.
Highlights
Why both Julien and Richard got started with Prometheus
Some surprising ways that Prometheus is used to monitor things beyond the software engineering world
How Prometheus has evolved in technology and usage over the years
How Kubernetes and its relationship with Prometheus has changed the project
What assumptions ‘cloud native’ creates for potential Prometheus users and how those assumptions are sometimes wrong.
