What Happens Between Dashboards and Prometheus?

What Happens Between Dashboards and Prometheus? TL;DR Prometheus gives us visibility into our system, but not into how we use that visibility. prom-analytics-proxy is a lightweight, drop-in proxy that captures PromQL query traffic (from dashboards, alerts, scripts, etc.) and gives you insights like top expressions, query latency, error rates, and usage patterns, all visualized in a built-in UI. It helps you optimize your observability stack, reduce waste, and understand what’s actually being queried in production. 👉 Check it out on GitHub

Observability strategies to not overload engineering teams – eBPF.

eBPF is a powerful technology since it allows you to inject custom user-definition programs in the kernel without having to install additional kernel modules or recompile the kernel itself.

Observability strategies to not overload engineering teams — OpenTelemetry Strategy.

OpenTelemetry provides capabilities to democratize observability data and empowers engineering teams.

Observability strategies to not overload engineering teams — Proxy Strategy.

A web proxy is a perfect place to start collecting telemetry data without required engineering efforts.

Observability strategies to not overload engineering teams.

No doubt, implementing a certain level of Observability at your company without requiring engineering effort, is a dream for everyone on that journey. Today I’m gonna share with you strategies, to help you implement Observability without adding cognitive load on your engineering teams.
