With growing focus on observability and reliability, establishing a scalable and reliable monitoring environment is more important than ever. Over the last decade, Prometheus has emerged as the leading open-source, time-series based monitoring software catering to this demand. Written by an open-source advocate and Prometheus contributor, this guide provides an in-depth look at Prometheus, covering best practices and offering insights into scaling, operating, and extending Prometheus, from small on-premises workloads to multi-cloud, globally distributed environments.
The book helps you revisit the basics of Prometheus, before moving on to advanced techniques of observability and monitoring using Prometheus. You'll find out how to deploy Prometheus on Kubernetes and achieve an HA alerting infrastructure in Prometheus. You'll also learn to leverage Prometheus in your daily operations through alerts, Grafana dashboards, and building your own exporter. Finally, you'll explore various open-source projects that extend the functionality of Prometheus, help with various aspects of running Prometheus at scale, and make the most of Prometheus data.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to confidently build, automate, and deliver your infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines in cloud-based applications.

Hegedus William :

William Hegedus has worked in tech for over a decade in a variety of roles, culminating in site reliability engineering. He developed a keen interest in Prometheus and observability technologies during his time managing a 24/7 NOC environment and eventually became the first SRE at Linode, one of the foremost independent cloud providers. Linode was acquired by Akamai Technologies in 2022, and now Will manages a team of SREs focused on building the internal observability platform for Akamai's Connected Cloud. His team is responsible for a global fleet of Prometheus servers spanning over two dozen data centers and ingesting millions of data points every second, in addition to operating a suite of other observability tools. Will is an open source advocate and contributor who has contributed code to Prometheus, Thanos, and many other CNCF projects related to Kubernetes and observability. He lives in central Virginia with his wonderful wife, four kids, three cats, two dogs, and a bearded dragon.
