🚨 Contribfest: Contribution Guide and Workshop: Help Us Improve the Prometheus Ecosystem!

Wednesday April 2, 2025 11:15 - 12:30 BST

Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 17

Have you ever wondered how to introduce that quick fix you always wanted to do to Prometheus or Alertamanger server? What about proposing bigger changes to Prometheus like improving TSDB storage, API or Prometheus standards likePromQL, OpenMetrics or Remote Write?

It might be easier than you thought! In this workshop, we will, together, propose an example (or yours!) code change to Prometheus! The participants will learn and exercise:
How to find various code components in the Go codebases for Prometheus and auxiliary projects like Alertmanager, avalanche, etc.
Proposing the bigger changes through the Prometheus proposal process.
Testing and benchmarking Prometheus.
Documenting changes.
What it takes to become a maintainer one day!

Prerequisites for the active participation: Linux or Mac dev machine, git and Go 1.23 installed.
