Glad to know I'm not the only person who runs "git commit -m 'something'" on the regular. 😂
Trying to set up observability for Hero, our app who just wants to be in production. Our choice is going to be Prometheus or Pixie!
Hero just made his first metric, isn't it cute?
We're interacting with it via CLI because Viktor doesn't like UIs. 😂
Oh look Prometheus has problems, introducing Thanos and Cortex.
"We can store an unlimited amount of data for an infinite amount of time!"
Wow TIL. 😂
Let's also talk about Pixie! It lets you instrument your applications with eBPF!
Alrighty, we voted, and Pixie it is! It was installed ahead of time because Pixie takes an infinite amount of time to install.
First up: Hero wants to know how Prometheus works! Quick overview of exporters, dashboards, alerts, etc.
"We can make an alert if something bad happens, but why not make an alert if something good happens, too! ❤️"
"But you can do clickops if you really want to"
"Ok by the way, if you voted for Pixie you made a huge mistake. You'll see why in a little bit."
My one actual talk today is "Choose Your Own Adventure: The Observability Odyssey" by @wiggitywhitney and Viktor Farcic!
