In a previous blog we learnt about setting up a Scalable Prometheus-Thanos monitoring stack. We also learnt about how we can cluster multiple Prometheus servers with the help of Thanos and then deduplicate metrics and alerts across them. MetricFire is a Hosted Prometheus solution, and you can use our product with minimal configuration to gain in-depth insight into your environments. If you would like to learn more about it please book a demo with us, or sign up for the free trial today.
Should application developers learn Kubernetes? Let’s ask an even deeper question; should application developers even be aware of Kubernetes in their infrastructure? I frequently hear this question being asked by DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Development teams. Of course, this is a discussion that brings very different views from different people and can result in a very long debate.
In a previous article, we discussed why we frequently hear that developers are not that keen on Kubernetes. You can read it here. In summary, while developers certainly see the value of Kubernetes, they want to continue focusing on their application code and updates and not be impacted by the company’s Kubernetes initiative, which is quite fair.
