Primary Features of Current Release and Projects

PromCon, the flagship yearly event of the Prometheus community, took place in Berlin 28-29 September 2023, and we’re here to bring you the highlights from the Prometheus ecosystem, including the pivotal decision on Prometheus 3.0! Brace yourselves for some exciting announcements! We also delved into the latest addition to the ecosystem, Perses project, which promises to revolutionize the world of dashboard visualization and monitoring. This new open source project, now part of the Linux Foundation, aims to become the GitOps-friendly standard dashboard visualization tool for Prometheus and other data sources. On this episode I hosted Augustin Husson, Prometheus maintainer and the creator of the Perses project, at the heels of his PromCon announcement of the Perses release. Augustin is also principal engineer at Amadeus, a technology vendor for travel agencies. Augustin joined Amadeus to create a new internal monitoring system based on Prometheus, and he will also share his end-user journey and insights.
