Are you using target relabeling rules in @prometheus.io? I wrote a short blog post about the new relabeling rule visualizer I built that just got released with Prometheus v3.8.0, and which can help you make sense of your rules: prometheus.io/blog/2025/12...

This week I had the opportunity to start writing a new Kubernetes Controller, at Coralogix most of the services are Rust based. So I decided to give a try to rust and kube-rs, since I’m not a rustician, that would be a great opportunity to learning
