Prometheus is a powerful monitoring tool that provides extensive metrics and insights into your infrastructure and applications, especially in k8s and OCP (enterprise k8s). While crafting PromQL (Prometheus Query Language) expressions, ensuring accuracy and compatibility is essential, especially when comparing metrics or calculating thresholds. In this article, we will explore how to count worker nodes and track changes in resources effectively using PromQL.

There are many ways to deploy your microservices, each offering different levels of control, simplicity, and scalability. One approach is using Elastic Beanstalk , a fully managed service that simplifies deployment, scaling, and management. Another option is to deploy manually, giving you full control over the infrastructure but requiring more setup and maintenance.

As per the saying If you dont measure it, you cant manage it by Deming , observability and monitoring is our way to measure our services. Kubernetes is pretty revolutionary when it comes to the way it handles deployments and scales. But the way containers are continuously created and destroyed can sometimes present challenges with monitoring. This is where observability comes into play, offering critical insights into how your system is performing and why issues occur.

TL;DR: Enterprise AI teams are discovering that purely agentic approaches (dynamically chaining LLM calls) dont deliver the reliability needed for production systems. The prompt-and-pray modelwhere business logic lives entirely in promptscreates systems that are unreliable, inefficient, and impossible to maintain at scale. A shift toward structured automation, which separates conversational ability from business logic execution, is needed for enterprise-grade reliability.
