GrafanaCONline: Prometheus rate queries in Grafana

Which range to use in a Prometheus rate query is already a bit of rocket science. When Grafana enters the game to visualize the result of such a query, things get even more interesting.

In this talk, I will present the approach we took to convince the 6,000+ engineers at Bloomberg to adopt a new and growing platform.
