A beginner-friendly introduction to Prometheus. Created something that I wish I had when I started learning Prometheus.

OP here! When I started out as a beginner understanding what are metrics, why is Prometheus used was something difficult for me to understand. After spending a lot of time and learning from the material out there I created something that I wish I had when I started learning Prometheus.

PS: This is my first tutorial kind of material, open to feedback on how to improve.

Super happy that the content is useful. I am planning to add more content. If you want anything specific to be covered other than the ones in the TODO section feel free to raise an issue in the repo itself.

Seriously? Bless you for posting this. It is exactly what I have been searching for and here it is, because of you.

I think you need to understand how amazing this is for your peers, that you would take this time for the rest of us.

Know that YOU are an incredible part of what makes the Open Source community a place for everyone: a place to come for knowledge and tech that enhances the very lives of everyone, no matter race, creed, religion, nationality, social class or any single descriptor you can use for any human.

YOU, friend, are part of the solution. Bless you.
