Next month I'm heading back to Edinburgh to speak at the Open Source Edinburgh Meetup about how to get started with Prometheus.
With over 700 members, this group is spot on for the topic I'm presenting. Sharing the open source cloud native observability tooling and how to get started with it should resonate well with this audience.
On 11 May 2023 I'll be at the offices of Scott Logic (just down the hill from Edinburgh Castle) and the meetup details where placed online this week.
From the organizers:
We are pleased to announce the date for our next Open Source Edinburgh meetup and we're looking forward to welcoming you back for our first event of the year.
In addition to our fabulous speakers, our resident hosts from Scott Logic, Colin Eberhardt (CTO) and Oliver Cronk (Technology Director), will be updating us on the latest things happening in the open source community.

Getting Started with Prometheus
Come and learn about Prometheus, a free and open source systems monitoring and alerting tool kit that enables you to discover, collect, and query your observability data. Prometheus is designed to help engineers and site reliability engineers (SREs) who are interested in moving away from proprietary instrumentation and getting started with open source observability. After watching this talk, you will be invited to join a self-paced, free, and online workshop. During the workshop, you will install Prometheus, collect metrics, and learn how to effectively run it in your observability stack.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
