OpenObservability Talks What's new in the Prometheus ecosystem? - OpenObservability Talks S3E07
So much has been going on with the Prometheus project and its ecosystem, that it’s time to have a proper catch up. And there’s no better person to walk us through it than Julien Pivotto, who debriefed the community last month at PromCon.
Julien Pivotto is a maintainer of Prometheus, the open source monitoring and alerting solution. He is the co-founder of the company O11y, that provides premium support for open source observability tools such as Prometheus, Thanos and Grafana.
The episode was live-streamed on 19 December 2022 and the video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vui4EgveUxg
