Prometheus
Metrics collection and alerting for ML and AI systems.
Maturity level: L2 — Can Build
Six perspectives on Prometheus
Roadmap
Learn with or after Kubernetes for production paths.
Architecture
Metrics layer in observability stack for AI systems.
Company
Common in SRE, MLOps, and AIOps postings.
Projects
Add metrics to every deployed service.
Interview
Golden signals and ML-specific monitoring.
Career
Required for MLOps, AIOps, and AI infrastructure.
What & Why
What: Open-source monitoring system with time-series metrics and PromQL.
Why: Observability is non-negotiable for production ML, LLM, and agent systems.
Build this
Monitoring dashboard for ML API with drift and latency alerts.
