Monitoring as Code: Managing your Observability Assets the Cloud-Native Way
summary
Company moves monitoring to code: a templated pipeline using jsonnet templating and a Go CLI that builds, unit-tests and CI-deploys Grafana dashboards and Prometheus alerts. Stack uses OpenShift installers, Argo CD, Terraform, Jenkins shared libraries and Thanos-backed Prometheus to scale across ~90 Azure OpenShift clusters and ~10 on‑prem clusters, serving ~1M active time series and surviving a cloud migration. The repo auto-reconciles diffs, deploys thousands of dashboards concurrently, and is production-proven.
