“If you Don’t Monitor your Infrastructure, you Don’t Own it!” Regain Control Thanks to Prometheus [I] - Etienne Coutaud & Guillaume Lefevre, OCTO Technology

In the French FedEx company we used Prometheus to monitor the infrastructure. It hosts a CQRS Architecture composed with Kafka, Spark, Cassandra, ElasticSearch, and microservices APIs in scala.

This presentation is about using Prometheus in production, you will see why we choosed Prometheus, how we integrated it, configured it and what kind of insights we extracted from the whole infrastructure.

In addition, you will see how Prometheus changed our way of working, how we implemented self-healing based on Prometheus, how we configured systemd to trigger AlertManager API, integration with slack and other cool stuffs.

Some demonstrations will be performed in addition of the presentation.
