Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/prometheus

Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud and now a graduated project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It collects and stores metrics as time-series data, using a pull-based model and its own query language (PromQL), and is commonly paired with Grafana for visualization. DevOps engineers and site reliability engineers use it extensively to monitor containerized and cloud-native infrastructure, especially Kubernetes clusters.
