PromBench: LFX project umbrella

[bboreham]

PromBench is the automated system for benchmarking Prometheus, intended to be a realistic comparison for users.
The code for PromBench is under https://github.com/prometheus/test-infra/tree/master/prombench.

We would like to extend PromBench to be even more representative of real-world usage.
An LFX project would address as many of these as possible within the time:

• Exercise Remote Write as part of Prombench #249
• PromBench: execute longer queries to check speed of data from disk blocks #702
• Create native histograms load in Prombench runs #594
• Idea: include rules in PromBench load #704
• PromBench Idea: exercise more parts of PromQL #705
• PromBench idea: Exemplars #706

Hi @bboreham , I have been exploring promethus for some time and would like to contribute to this project for the LFX Term. Can you guide me with a lil push on where to start ?

And also if there are some pre test / pre tasks that I would need to do ?

Thanks!

Hi @bboreham , I'm very interested in enhancing the Prometheus Benchmark Suite (PromBench). I'm familiar with Golang, Kubernetes, and have a basic understanding of Prometheus and HTTP. I have development experience with Kubernetes Operators, and I've gained some knowledge of Prometheus through resources like Prometheus Overview and [K21 Academy's Introduction to Prometheus Monitoring] ((https://k21academy.com/prometheus/prometheus-monitoring-an-introduction/)).

I’m excited to learn more about Prometheus in the future and expand my knowledge graph. Given my background, I’m confident I have the capability and motivation to successfully complete this project.
