We are thrilled to announce that Greptimeâs talk, "Engage Prometheus in Rust Ecosystem", has been accepted for PromCon EU 2025!
đ Date: October 21â22, 2025
đ Location: Munich, Germany at the Google office
PromCon EU is a regional conference organized by the Prometheus community under CNCF. It focuses on the Prometheus monitoring system and its ecosystem, catering to developers, SREs, system architects, and observability practitioners. The first PromCon was held in 2016 in Berlin, Germany, led by the core Prometheus development team. It remains the most historically significant and central conference for the Prometheus community.
PromCon EU 2025 in Munich will gather developers and users from around the world to discuss the latest trends and technical advancements in monitoring and observability.
Talk Overview â
Title â
Engage Prometheus in Rust Ecosystem
Speaker â
Ruihang, Senior Engineer at GreptimeDB
Description â
Above 90% of Prometheus-related projects are in Go. For many years, other languages have only a client to expose Prometheus metrics, and nothing more.
But we want to make some changes. We've devoted years to building many useful yet fundamental basic Rust libraries that work with Prometheus, like a native PromQL parser or Prometheus Remote protocols, that have been used by hundreds of other projects with over 180k downloads.
And that's not the only aspect, we're also actively exploring the possibility to combine Prometheus with other widely used Rust projects in various ways, including arrow-rs, otlp-arrow, Parquet and DataFusion etc. Each of which can bring some new advantages in protocol, data storage, computation or more to the Prometheus economic system.
In this session I want to share our journey so far, the good, the bad and the sweet things when carving out Prometheus' way in Rust. We've learned so many lessons as well as sparked lots of inspiration. Looking forward to discovering a new world in hacking and using Prometheus with you.
If youâre attending PromCon EU 2025 in Munich, come meet us in person!
Letâs explore the convergence of Prometheus and Rust together.
