Have you ever wondered how people find performance bottlenecks and improve them in complex systems? What tools and techniques work in real life applications? When should you stop optimizing? Well, this is the episode for you. Our first ever guest, Bryan Boreham from Grafana Labs, sits down with us and walks us over his experience of optimizing the popular open-source project Prometheus. Before the super insightful discussion on this topic, we cover the tech news from the week that got our attention.

Optimizing Prometheus Efficiency with Bryan Boreham

Prometheus

Prometheus is an open source monitoring system and time series database. Prometheus includes a multi-dimensional data model, a query language called PromQL, and a pull model for gathering metrics from your different services. Prometheus is widely used by large distributed systems deployments such as Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry. Prometheus gathers metrics from your services by periodically scraping those services. Those metrics get gathered, compressed, and stored onto disk for querying. But Prometheus is designed to store all of its records on one host in one set of files–which limits the scalability and availability of those metrics. Cortex is an open source project built to scale Prometheus. Cortex effectively shards Prometheus by parallelizing the “ingestion” and storage of Prometheus metrics. Cortex can take metrics from multiple Prometheus instances and store them across a distributed NoSQL database like DynamoDB, BigTable, or Cassandra. Bryan Boreham is an engineer at Weaveworks, where he works on deployment, observability, and monitoring tools for containers and microservices. He wrote much of the code for Cortex, and we met up at KubeCon North America to talk about the motivation for creating Cortex, the broader landscape of Kubernetes monitoring, and other approaches to scaling Prometheus. The post Prometheus Scalability with Bryan Boreham appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
