The people and organizations we actually work with
Since 2021, we've built working relationships with infrastructure providers, research groups, and educational platforms. These aren't theoretical partnerships. They help us deliver courses that connect classroom learning with what participants need on production systems.
Who we collaborate with and why it matters
Each partnership brings something specific to the table — whether that's access to real-world systems, research insights, or platforms that help us reach learners globally.
Technical Infrastructure Alliance
Cloud platform provider that gives our participants sandbox access to distributed monitoring systems. Their APIs power about 40% of our hands-on exercises.
DevOps Research Collective
Independent research group studying deployment patterns and production incidents. They share anonymized case studies that become workshop material.
Global Education Network
International consortium connecting professional development programs. They handle multilingual support and cultural adaptation for our content across 14 countries.
Metrics Research Institute
Academic institution studying observability patterns in microservices. We get early access to their findings, which inform how we teach distributed tracing.
Open Telemetry Practitioners
Community of engineers working with OpenTelemetry in production. They review our course material and occasionally guest-teach specific sessions.
Performance Engineering Forum
Professional network for engineers focused on system optimization. Our graduates get discounted membership, and we co-host quarterly deep-dive sessions.
Joint workshop programs
We design courses together with infrastructure partners so participants work with actual monitoring stacks. This means configuring Prometheus on live clusters, not simulated environments.
Expert practitioner network
Engineers from partner organizations teach sections where they have depth. A site reliability engineer from our cloud partner handles the module on incident response patterns.
What makes this collaboration work is the shared understanding that monitoring education needs to be hands-on. We provide the research foundation and real incident data. They build exercises that force participants to troubleshoot actual performance problems, not hypothetical ones.
