No Jsonnet? No Problem! Prometheus in Perses, Powered by Go
summary
Demonstrates a working Perses pipeline that replaces Jsonnet dashboards with code: a Perses Go SDK that builds dashboard structs, a PromQL builder that produces AST-validated queries instead of string concatenation, and a published community-mixins repo that generates YAML CRDs and operator-compatible dashboards and alerting rules. Shows generated YAMLs applied via kube-prometheus stacks, explains override patterns for downstream customization, and reports the approach already converts common mixins (Kubernetes, Thanos, Prometheus) and runs successfully in demos.
