[Online Workshop] Instrumenting your Python applications with Prometheus

Get ready to monitor your Python Apps with Prometheus & Grafana! We welcome you to join us to learn how to instrument an existing Python application and start making queries and dashboards.

We have emailed attendees the Zoom link for this event, you can also find the link in our slack (details for how to join are below)

❀ Workshop Description ❀
In this workshop, we will demonstrate how developers can export monitoring metrics from their code and capture it in Prometheus. We will build upon a simple web application, using Python client APIs to track events in the code, while introducing the fundamentals of application monitoring and the Prometheus data-fetching model. Participants of the workshop will learn how to add monitoring to their own applications, and how to query and interpret the resulting data. As a bonus we will also introduce you to building grafana dashboards with your data <3

❀ Prerequisites ❀
Participants should have python3, pipenv, and Docker (version 19+) installed on their machine.

Some familiarity with Python will help as we will not be able to explain in detail all the code provided, however if you are a beginner do not be deterred, reach out on our slack and we will support you during the workshop!
