ConProf: Production-grade Prometheus for continuous profiling
Description
Cloud native observability is usually based on three pillars: metrics, logging, and tracing. During a KubeCon Europe keynote in Barcelona last year, Frederic Branczyk and Tom Wilkie predicted that we will see more than just those three signals in the near future and that they will be linkable and integrated better than ever.
Looks like the future is now! During this talk, Frederic Branczyk and Bartek Plotka, Prometheus and Thanos maintainers, will introduce an open source project that allows users to scrape performance profiles continuously from running applications. Built using the Prometheus database, it leverages your existing CNCF monitoring patterns (Prometheus, Jaeger, Grafana) to enhance the debugging of crucial past performance issues.
This talk will give you actionable steps and demonstrate how to improve your own Kubernetes debugging story and reduce incident mean time to resolution (MTTR).
