About the Author

Bartłomiej (Bartek) Płotka is a principal software engineer at Red Hat, and the current technical lead of the CNCF TAG Observability group. He has helped to build many popular, reliable, performance- and efficiency-oriented distributed systems in Go with a focus on observability. He is a core maintainer of various open source projects, including Prometheus, libraries in the gRPC ecosystem, and more. In 2017, together with Fabian Reinartz, he created Thanos, a popular open source distributed time-series database. Focused on cheap and efficient metric monitoring, this project went through hundreds of performance- and efficiency-focused improvements. Bartek’s passion has always been to focus on the readability, reliability, and efficiency of Go. On the way, Bartek helped to develop many tools, wrote many blog posts, and created guides to teach others on writing pragmatic yet efficient Go applications.
