Dutch Cloud Native Day 2024: Meet the New Kid in the Sandbox, Perses

On Tuesday, 10 December I'll be attending and speaking at the Dutch Cloud Native Day in Amsterdam. 

This one day event will be hosted at the University of Amsterdam buildings in the Science Park at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica. 

I'll be sharing an overview of the latest new kid in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox projects, Perses. The talk will cover its attempts at becoming an open specification for dashboards and the open dashboard tool for Prometheus and other data sources. 

Join me for a fun session on how to integrate your visualizations as code, how easy it is to create beautiful dashboards, and head home with a free, online, self-paces workshop to get you started with your first Perses dashboards.

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

When you jump in the CNCF Sandbox you will 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 into creating their first visualizations and integrations with Prometheus and Perses!

Perses (visualization) - Great observability is impossible without great visualization! Learn how to adopt truly open visualization by installing Perses, exploring the provided tooling, tinkering with its API, and then get your hands dirty building your first dashboard in no time!  The workshop is self-paced and available online, so attendees can continue to explore after the event: https://o11y-workshops.gitlab.io/workshop-perses

Looking forward to seeing you there!
