  Introduction to Prometheus & Grafana Bootcamp In today’s fast-paced DevOps world, monitoring is not optional—it’s essential . The success of modern infrastructure depends on visibility, reliability, and performance. That’s where Prometheus and Grafana come in—the most powerful open-source tools used by DevOps engineers and SREs worldwide. This bootcamp introduces you to everything you need to build, monitor, and maintain resilient systems in 2025 and beyond. What is Prometheus? Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit originally developed by SoundCloud. It’s designed to collect metrics, store them efficiently as time-series data, and trigger alerts when something goes wrong. It’s lightweight, scalable, and widely adopted by Kubernetes environments, making it a go-to choice for cloud-native monitoring. What is Grafana? Grafana is the visual layer of observability—it turns raw data into actionable insights. With stunning dashboards, real-time gra...

  Introduction Monitoring is the backbone of modern DevOps and SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) practices. Without proper monitoring, even the most robust infrastructure can fail silently. This is where Prometheus and Grafana come in — one collects and processes metrics, the other visualizes them beautifully. Together, they form one of the most powerful monitoring stacks in the DevOps ecosystem. In this complete guide, we’ll cover everything about Prometheus and Grafana, from basic setup to advanced scaling , and how you can use them to master infrastructure monitoring like a pro. Getting Started with Prometheus Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit designed for reliability and scalability. Originally developed at SoundCloud, it’s now a CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) project. Core Features of Prometheus Multi-dimensional data model Powerful query language (PromQL) Pull-based metric collection Integrated alerting with Alertm...
