Prometheus and Open-Source Observability with Eric Schabell

Software Engineering Daily

Modern cloud-native systems are highly dynamic and distributed, which makes it difficult to monitor cloud infrastructure using traditional tools designed for static environments. This has motivated the development and widespread adoption of dedicated observability platforms. Prometheus is an open-source observability tool designed for cloud-native environments. Its strong integration with Kubernetes and pull-based data collection model The post Prometheus and Open-Source Observability with Eric Schabell appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
