Prometheus Deep Dive

Dive deep into advanced Prometheus usage and scaling techniques in this 27-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. Explore how to implement and scale Prometheus setups for large organizations, covering topics such as global views through Query API, Federation, and Remote Read with Thanos. Learn about long-term metrics retention, including its benefits and caveats, and discover global view options via Remote Write with Cortex/M3. Get a sneak peek at the React UI and future metadata persistence features. Witness a live demonstration of file-based import to Prometheus and gain valuable insights from Prometheus maintainers during the Q&A session.
