Prometheus: The Documentary

Watch and witness the journey of open-source monitoring system, Prometheus. Before Kubernetes existed-even before Docker-the team at Soundcloud already knew their monitoring system deserved a complete, fundamental revamp. Of course, as with anything in development, this was no easy task.
Join us as we explore the story of Prometheus, from inception to adoption as told by the story’s key players including Julian Volz, Matthias Rampke, Björn Rabenstein, and more. In the end, you’ll see how a “problem to be solved” eventually led the industry to a completely new understanding of monitoring. We hope you’re ready to be inspired. 🔥

Prometheus is definitely one of the most influential Open-Source projects. Thank you Prometheus

[@fraollemecha]

I am so happy that this channel exists thank you Honeypot

[@youbecks5647]

As a non-developer i DID NOT understand anything, yet I am still inspired by their work. And hats off to the production team behind the documentary. This is really premium stuff.

[@Honeypotio]

Oh cool, may I ask why you decided to watch in the first place? ☺Maybe you should try watching our Vue or GraphQL documentaries!

[@youbecks5647]

@@Honeypotio The TLDR version is - I got clickbaited by the channel name, in love with your style of production and I have massive respect for FOSS people. The RTFA version - Being a Cyber Intel guy, last year I was actually searching KZbin to educate my self on the topic of "Honeypots and how to set-up them" (not you, not the honeybee one, it's the one we use in cybersecurity) - I landed on your channel. I was super excited and disappointed the moment the clicked on Videos tab and saw the uploads. The channel was nothing related to the honeypots I wanted, not even remotely related to cybersecurity. I was actually confuzzled to see artistic product around some programming libraries and frameworks. I mean yeah sure, QnA and interviews are fine but who is the heck is making documentaries around these and who is even watching them. And then clicked on the Vue one, ...I was hooked till the end. Off course, never heard about Vue before, every technical detail explained in the video went 6 feet above my head. Although I was captive throughout the video and then I went watching few more others. This one popped on my feed today and I faintly recall watching something similar in the past that I didn't understand but was super good stuff. Thank thy curiosity, I clicked again and watched the whole thing. You guys are doing great job. Please share more.

How does Prometheus make money or is it only driven by volunteer work?

[@_____case]

It's a CNCF project. There is volunteer work involved, but it also has lots of corporate sponsors, i.e. companies employ engineers to work on it, and otherwise contribute to the project financially.

According to Greek myths, Prometheus gave fire to people. Maybe they are saying that this tool is as good as fire 🔥

[@_____case]

Big companies who have bet big on Prometheus already are trying to solidify it as the default OSS monitoring solution. I'm not really complaining, though. It's still OSS.

[@mzs114]

Unnecessary time for the cncf woman, they were not even in the picture when Prometheus started, why include them?

[@chabuchabu430]

She is not the only one though in the documentary.so why are you triggered by her involvement only? prejudiced?that’s why tech continues to have diversity issues
