Abstract

Download the code ahead of time. DCO Required.Thanos - a CNCF project - is a Prometheus-compatible scalable system for high availability and long-term storage of the metrics. Thanos takes various Prometheus functionalities and splits them into microservices. It allows Thanos to scale different parts of the system based on usage. Although this makes it possible for Thanos to achieve its aims, the complexity of such a distributed system comes at a cost. Operating Thanos requires knowing what you're doing and being up to date with the continuous improvements the project goes through. And there is no better way to gain this insight than by putting your finger on the pulse of the project!ContribFest will allow participants and companies to explore how easy it is to contribute to and maintain Thanos with the community. During our session, you'll go through the code base with the maintainers, get familiar with the contribution cycles and learn about our testing framework and CI/CD setup. We plan to involve the audience with interactive tutorials they can follow and ask questions on their way to becoming contributors.This Contribfest session is designed to provide projects with the space and resources to tackle outstanding technical debt, security issues, or outstanding impactful feature requests. They are intended to provide a place for maintainers to meet contributors and potential contributors and work together on solving a problem.
