Prometheus and Unleash: metrics flow both ways
Blog post from Unleash
Unleash offers an integration with Prometheus, allowing for a seamless connection to existing observability stacks without the need for additional silos or duplicated data management. This integration enables Unleash to both export its operational metrics to Prometheus and import existing Prometheus metrics to drive feature flag decisions and automate rollout processes. By supporting two-way metrics flow, Unleash facilitates real-time control over feature releases using impact metrics, which can trigger safeguards based on pre-set conditions, thereby allowing for automated and responsive rollout adjustments. The integration is designed to work with various platforms, including VictoriaMetrics, and aims to enhance the capability of development teams to manage feature deployments effectively without disrupting their existing monitoring setups. The use of feature flags in this manner prevents the need for re-instrumentation of applications, leveraging existing metrics for decision-making, and ensuring that teams can maintain their trusted observability tools while gaining enhanced release management capabilities through Unleash.
