  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

    • Thanos or Cortex are basically required to run an HA, resilient storage/query/cache layer for Prometheus. Grafana isn't a huge pain to run in HA, you can connect to the same database (Grafana doesn't support multi-master DB yet unfortunately https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/13497) , but in theory you should strive to have dashboards/alerts configured through the Grafana provisioning subsystem or through some other means of configuration management - such that the DB isn't the _only_ source of truth.

  • thanos

    Highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities. A CNCF Incubating project.

    • Old company was on a smaller scale than the new one. But still https://thanos.io/

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • opentelemetry-python-contrib

    OpenTelemetry instrumentation for Python modules

    • And sure, there's gaps and those are awful when you get to them. But writing minimal tracing integration is pretty easy. This is the full source of the psycopg2 instrumentation. https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/blob/main/instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-psycopg2/src/opentelemetry/instrumentation/psycopg2/__init__.py

  • debug-toolkit

    A modern code-injection framework for Python. Like Pyrasite but Kubernetes-aware.

    • Hey, I founded a startup that's trying to fix the problems you mentioned for the Prometheus stack and provide a better out of the box experience. Would love to hear your thoughts on our open source: https://robusta.dev

  • vector

    A high-performance observability data pipeline.

    • Maybe you could use DataDog's open-source observability pipeline that allows for OTel and other data streams and aggregate them to whichever tool you choose in the end https://vector.dev/
