Our latest eng blog post is a deep dive on building a converter from non-Prometheus queries by parsing them into an AST. This AST representation is then converted to it's corresponding PromQL AST resulting in a Prometheus query that charts the same data: chronosphere.io/learn/converti…

100% agree Eduardo and congrats OrbStack. This was a per peeve, FS perf of Docker on macOS is soo slow. Especially for quick build-run-test loops for iterating testing changes or changes to a binary with a multi-arch image build to test metrics/logs/tracing agents in test env.

See those at monitorama.bsky.social next week. Looking forward to the talks from Salesforce and CloudFlare. We have history w/ Chronosphere as Martin mentions but I also just love what a practical conference this is for practitioners since 2015 when I started following it. See you soon!

Happy monitorama.bsky.social 2024! Today we launch our Telemetry Pipeline, with the avg enterprise logs growing 250% YoY we can save >=30%: chronosphere.io/lp/simplify-lo… Also tune in now, @paigerduty is talking about logs and how to make the best of them with modern practices at 11:30am PST.

Generally agree we’ve come along way, but BOY do I wish every laptop still had a 3.5mm headphone jack still 😭 Also… HDMI is still a must IMO. More also... MagSafe IMO still rules the roost of “UX/consequences of tripping over the charger between zoom meetings for bio break.”

Hope folks are gearing up to hear about the latest all things Prom at PromCon and from Eric about PersesDev OSS (Apache 2) which is re-imagining a purely observability focused visualization, graphing and debugging UX designed from the ground up to leverage the best of PromQL.

So brilliant to see PromLens w/ complex query visual editing, PromQL JOIN interactive explain/debugging, label & size of result set per sub-statement in the query now part of PrometheusMonitoring. Here's to making things that stand the test of time & move the entire industry forward.

A really interesting read on LibreSSL and its journey of its fork from OpenSSL: openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan1… By the numbers: OpenSSL 1.0.1g was a 388,000 line code base. About 90,000 lines of C source code deleted, about 150,000 lines of files. Approximately at 500,000 line unidiff.

11.30pm after landing in LGA in New York after meeting-packed day in Chicago and the airport is packed with folks leaving, more so than any Australian airport I’ve ever seen at its busiest as a bunch of planes land at once on a “normal” day. Scary: Humans quickly normalize scale.

#busydevlife During holiday-slow-down and pre-new years eve, now updating MacOS so I can run newly released Ghostty for a fast native terminal that I would have loved over the past few years (TY Mitch and community! The future is now)

Oncall "Distraction Tax" is an immediately recognizable term for anyone who has faced this in the real world. Some will remember vividly months or sometimes years climbing out of bad periods, or even some teams needing complete restructuring. Bill Hineline : forbes.com/councils/forbe…
