PromCon EU 2024: Meet the New Kid in the Sandbox - Integrating Perses Visualization with Prometheus (slides + video)

Today I shared an update on the Perses dashboard and visualization project, the newest member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox tier.

It was at PromCon EU 2024 in Berlin, Germany and I shared about how far along Perses is, including how easily you can start integrating it with the Prometheus monitoring system today.

I've been attending this event for the last two years since my career took me in the direction of cloud native observability, with CNCF projects like Prometheus being the natural direction I gravitated towards. Since working with Prometheus, I've also gotten involved with Perses, which is focused on providing true open source visualization and dashboards to the users of Prometheus.

Let's look at the talk, the slides, and video recording of my session.

Projects in the observability space tend to gravitate to the CNCF, and Perses jumped into the process of becoming a CNCF Sandbox project. This process took awhile and in mid-August they kicked off voting. Amazingly it only took a few days for the Perses project to pass the number of voted needed to become the newest member in the CNCF Sandbox tier. It's high time you met this new kid on the block, so here's the video recording:

Here are the slides presented:

For completeness, here is the abstract.

Meet the New Kid in the Sandbox - Integrating Visualization with Prometheus

When you jump in the CNCF Sandbox you will soon (may be approved by the time you see this) meet the new kid, a visualization and dashboards project called Perses. This session will provide attendees with the basics to get started with integrating Prometheus, PromQL, and more with Perses. A journey will be taken from zero to beautiful visualizations seamlessly integrated with Prometheus. This session leaves the attendees with hands-on self-paced workshop content to head home and dive right in to creating their first visualizations and integrations with Prometheus and Perses!

Was nice of everyone to attend this session and I spoke to quite a few of you post-session to share demos of the Perses project in action. Thanks to all who engaged and provided feedback!
