How the Python Software Foundation uses Grafana to protect and scale community infrastructure

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) manages critical infrastructure that serves millions of developers worldwide every day: PyPI (Python Package Index), PyCon, PyLadiesCon, python.org, docs.python.org, bugs.python.org, mail.python.org, and numerous other services that power the Python ecosystem. 

In this session, PSF Infrastructure Engineer Jacob Coffee shares how the PSF uses Grafana, Alloy, and Loki to maintain reliability and security across a complex, distributed infrastructure:

• How Alloy simplifies log collection across the PSF's distributed infrastructure, making it easier to monitor the different services from a single pipeline.
• How Grafana dashboards provide visibility into real-time data, capacity trends, and service health across Python's critical community infrastructure.
• How Loki's log aggregation has been instrumental in helping the Python ecosystem analyze web traffic and identify problematic crawlers in the age of AI.
