Infrastructure Monitoring with Prometheus: Complete Setup Guide
Prometheus is the standard for infrastructure monitoring. This guide covers setup and configuration.

Prometheus provides powerful monitoring capabilities. Start with basic setup and gradually add exporters and alerts.
For Infrastructure Monitoring with Prometheus: Complete Setup Guide, define pre-deploy checks, rollout gates, and rollback triggers before release. Track p95 latency, error rate, and cost per request for at least 24 hours after deployment. If the trend regresses from baseline, revert quickly and document the decision in the runbook.
Keep the operating model simple under pressure: one owner per change, one decision channel, and clear stop conditions. Review alert quality regularly to remove noise and ensure on-call engineers can distinguish urgent failures from routine variance.
Repeatability is the goal. Convert successful interventions into standard operating procedures and version them in the repository so future responders can execute the same flow without ambiguity.
