Master modern observability. Collect time-series metrics with Prometheus and build stunning visualization dashboards with Grafana.
Monitoring is about health; Observability is about understanding. This course teaches the industry-standard open-source stack for metrics. You will learn to instrument applications to expose metrics, configure Prometheus to scrape them, and write queries using PromQL. Master Grafana to visualize this data in rich, interactive dashboards. We also cover configuring Alertmanager to notify teams via Slack or PagerDuty when things go wrong.
