Prometheus with Mike Shoup

Prometheus is a flexible and robust open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud. It's a very helpful part of a comprehensive monitor/alert/report system. Prometheus joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in 2016 as the second hosted project, after Kubernetes.
