    Prometheus

    Prometheus

    Prometheus

    Power your metrics and alerting with a leading open-source monitoring solution. Prometheus fundamentally stores all data as time series: streams of timestamped values belonging to the same metric and the same set of labeled dimensions. Besides stored time series, Prometheus may generate temporary derived time series as the result of queries. Prometheus provides a functional query language called PromQL (Prometheus Query Language) that lets the user select and aggregate time series data in real time. The result of an expression can either be shown as a graph, viewed as tabular data in Prometheus's expression browser, or consumed by external systems via the HTTP API. Prometheus is configured via command-line flags and a configuration file. While the command-line flags configure immutable system parameters (such as storage locations, amount of data to keep on disk and in memory, etc.).

    Liquibase

    Liquibase

    Liquibase

    One area hasn’t benefited from the DevOps movement as much: The database change process. It’s time to bring CI/CD to the database. Application release technology has come a long way in the past several years. It used to take weeks or even months to release new software. Now that organizations have adopted new workflows and processes, the time it takes to complete a release has been reduced to days and even hours. Database schema migrations are an essential task for every software project. There are several different reasons why updates to the database are required. New features require new attributes in existing tables or entirely new tables. Bug fixes may lead to changes in names or data types in the database. Performance issues that require additional indexes in the database. Even in organizations that have adopted DevOps, manual rework is the norm when it comes to database schema and stored procedure changes.
