PromBench: LFX project umbrella

[bboreham]

PromBench is the automated system for benchmarking Prometheus, intended to be a realistic comparison for users.
The code for PromBench is under https://github.com/prometheus/test-infra/tree/master/prombench.

We would like to extend PromBench to be even more representative of real-world usage.
An LFX project would address as many of these as possible within the time:

• Exercise Remote Write as part of Prombench #249
• PromBench: execute longer queries to check speed of data from disk blocks #702
• Create native histograms load in Prombench runs #594
• Idea: include rules in PromBench load #704
• PromBench Idea: exercise more parts of PromQL #705
• PromBench idea: Exemplars #706

Hi @bboreham , I have been exploring promethus for some time and would like to contribute to this project for the LFX Term. Can you guide me with a lil push on where to start ?

And also if there are some pre test / pre tasks that I would need to do ?

Thanks!

Hi @bboreham , I'm very interested in enhancing the Prometheus Benchmark Suite (PromBench). I'm familiar with Golang, Kubernetes, and have a basic understanding of Prometheus and HTTP. I have development experience with Kubernetes Operators, and I've gained some knowledge of Prometheus through resources like Prometheus Overview and [K21 Academy's Introduction to Prometheus Monitoring] ((https://k21academy.com/prometheus/prometheus-monitoring-an-introduction/)).

I’m excited to learn more about Prometheus in the future and expand my knowledge graph. Given my background, I’m confident I have the capability and motivation to successfully complete this project.

Hi @bboreham,
Could you please tell me how was the selection procedure for this fellowship ? Solving as many as good first issues ? It will be very much helpful for future applicants like us.

[bboreham]

We reviewed all submissions in detail. We looked for an understanding of the project, an ability to do it (not in a full-time job for instance), and anything else that came across.
For a popular project there are so many applicants that, regrettably, many good candidates have to be turned down.

Hi @bboreham

I'm really interested in contributing to the project for the LFX mentorship. Could you offer some guidance on how to get started? Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.
