Topic 1 - You created Prometheus a couple years ago at SoundCloud. What were the core challenges you were trying to solve?
Topic 2 - For people new to Prometheus, what does it do (at a basic level) in terms of monitoring containers and applications?
- What can it monitor?
- What can it trigger other systems to do?
Topic 3 - Prometheus is now part of CNCF. Is it a native Kubernetes service, or a sidecar application for containers, or a broad service that just runs on Kubernetes?
Topic 4 - What are the basic things that most people use Prometheus to monitor for? What are a few complex use-cases? (application types, application frameworks, usage-patterns, etc.)
