Playing with Fire: Prometheus Tips to Avoid Getting Burned

Prometheus is a powerful metrics-based monitoring system for the cloud-native world. While it allows flexible monitoring of your services and infrastructure, if you aren’t aware of the potential pitfalls, you‘re playing with fire that can consume your engineers and your apps. 

In this talk, Prometheus co-founder Julius Volz will discuss potential pitfalls of Prometheus-based monitoring and provide the most important best practices to avoid getting burned and get the most from your cloud native monitoring. And George Hamilton of Chronosphere will show you how Chronosphere’s cloud-native observability platform helps you quickly implement those best practices.
