Introduction to Perses, an Open Source Observability Dashboard
summary
Perses is an open-source dashboard built for GitOps-native workflows and accepted into the CNCF sandbox in August 2024. It visualizes telemetry from Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope, exposes an npm-based embeddable component system (used to skin with PatternFly), and uses a plugin architecture for extensibility. Dashboard-as-code is implemented via CRDs and a CLI with linting, validation, previews and ephemeral dashboards plus SDKs to generate YAML/JSON for CI/CD automation.
