The text discusses the integration of Prometheus and InfluxDB, highlighting their potential to work together seamlessly. Julius Volz, a creator of Prometheus, showcased a demo of Prometheus using InfluxDB as a remote storage backend, allowing for real-time data retrieval. This new feature enables Prometheus to pull metrics from remote storage backends, expanding its capabilities. The author is excited about the collaboration and plans to introduce support for pull-based methods in addition to traditional push-based methods. They also outline their vision for improving InfluxDB 2.0, including a simplified data model, a functional query language, and enhanced user experience features such as a rich query builder UI and query completion CLI.
