The following Prometheus exporters best practices will help you implement a monitoring solution based on Prometheus, and will also increase your productivity. Prometheus is one of the foundations of the cloud-native environment. It has become the de-facto standard for visibility in Kubernetes environments, creating a new category called Prometheus monitoring.
I’m excited to announce an extension to Netdata’s series A funding in the amount of $14.2M, bringing the total amount of funding to $31M. We’re thrilled to share the news; the additional funding will help us continue building the future of health monitoring and performance troubleshooting. In case you missed it, our mission is to redefine infrastructure monitoring. Our unique approach to building the right solution with and for the community is no easy task.
Monitoring has never been simple, but there was a time when it was simpler. You had a device you could collect data from; you knew the metrics you needed to monitor, and if something went wrong, you could find the root cause. But as IT becomes increasingly and exponentially more complex, more devices, more environments, more things to monitor, more updates, more data, more everything; monitoring in general needs to grow with it.
Most modern applications today are being designed as a set of microservices with each service running as an independent application. This simply implies that one large application is broken down into small Apps running independently and only communicating with each other. This of course makes it much easier to build and maintain Apps but also offers way more value when combined with containerization technology.
Last month, Catchpoint’s CEO, Mehdi Daoudi, took part in episode 3 of the MIT Sloan CIO Digital Learning Series focused on the post-pandemic workplace and customer experience.

Trends in the infrastructure and software space have changed the way we build and run software. As a result, we have started treating our infrastructure as code, which has helped us lower costs and get our products to market more quickly. These new architectures also give us the ability to test our software faster in production-like deployments, and generally deliver more stable and reproducible deployments.
