Hi all,

I first got involved in Prometheus back in 2014 when I was looking for a
monitoring system, and nothing that was out there seemed to quite cut it.
Since then I've worked across and helped expand the ecosystem. I've reviewed
and merged 2542 PRs, in addition to creating 670 PRs containing 1867 commits
myself. I've created exporters and client libraries, wrote extensive docs, and made
a multitude of improvements to Prometheus from performance to features.

All of this takes a non-trivial amount of my time, and there's more to life
than maintaining open source projects. Accordingly I have decided to step back
and resign from prometheus-team, in order to focus my efforts more on other things
including Robust Perception.
I will of course still be part of the ecosystem, helping out fixing bugs, answering
questions, and so on. While I look forward to reducing my workload, I know Prometheus
will remain in good hands.

Yours,

Dear Brian,

it's hard to overstate the impact you have made on Prometheus and its
ecosystem over the years.

Thank you.

Thank you for your tireless work.

Thank you for your dedication to the project.

I look forward to sharing a beer, or ten, with you; and maybe tricking
you into singing,
best,
Richard

Dear Brian,

Thank you for all the work you've done on Prometheus but also all the personal impact you've had on me. You've helped me understand Prometheus, with reviews and in general all the times we've interacted. But beyond that, I've learnt a lot from you and you've inspired me many times!

I wish you all the best in your endeavors and hopefully we'll work together again.

Thanks again <3

Goutham.

Brian, your efforts with Prometheus have been a paragon of open source maintainership. Your presence will be greatly missed, and of course thank you for all your hard work.

Cheers,

Ben

I'd like to echo the comments from all the people who have themselves
done so much for Prometheus. You have helped in so many ways and in my
mind are one of the faces I picture when thinking of Prometheus. You
will be missed, but I look forward to seeing you around once travel is
legal again.

Brian, many many thanks for your dedication and patience. Without your
involvement, Prometheus wouldn't be where it stands now. This is an
amazing feat that you can be proud of.
Personally I've learned a lot from you and I'll keep being inspired by
your thorough reviews.
Wish you all the best for the future, I'm sure our paths will cross again :)

Thanks Brian!

We wouldn't have Prometheus as it is today without you.

Thank You so much Brian for your effort and passion for this project and Ecosystem. You have been an amazing help and great inspiration for all of us on many aspects. I learned from you many things: design patterns, Go, performance, indexing, SRE and more.

Hope you don't mind me asking for review/suggestions and advice from time to time! (:

Kind Regards,

Thank you Brian! You've obviously done a lot for the Prometheus project itself. What may be less known, is all the effort you've put in to make it welcoming to outside projects like ours.

I cannot tell you how appreciative we are that you looked at our design docs and answered our questions. That's part of what makes Prometheus such a giant in the open-source world, and why so many other projects have been able to develop around it. Thank you - again.

Dear Brian,

Thank you so much for all your guidance, contributions and work you have done! I still remember when Julius announced to me so many years ago that there is the first external non-SoundCloud developer with an interest in the project. And you didn't just show an interest in using the - still very limited - system we had back then, you immediately provided a very clear vision and guidance. Without all your thoughts and public work you and your company have done Prometheus would not be what it is today.

I wish you all the best for the future!

Tobi
