How We Used Jaeger and Prometheus to Deliver Lightning-Fast User Queries - Bryan Boreham

How We Used Jaeger and Prometheus to Deliver Lightning-Fast User Queries - Bryan Boreham

This talk comes from practical experience of running a cloud-based SAAS under Kubernetes for the last two years. Prometheus is good for the big picture view of how things are running, while Jaeger acts like a microscope on the internal workings of your system. You will learn about:

  • Setting up Jaeger and Prometheus in your Kubernetes cluster
  • Inspecting Jaeger and Prometheus output for tell-tale signs of trouble
  • Instrumenting your code (with examples in Go) for more detail
  • Applying the information gained to optimise your code and tune your system.
