Your product is not interesting to me if it doesn't integrate with Prometheus, a CNCF-backed project. It sounds like you could stand to swallow your pride and interact with the community more.

I’m certainly proud of what we’re building and the great team we’ve pulled together. We happily support our own community of tens of thousands and growing, in the past two months alone we’ve sponsored five student Hackathons and introduced thousands of young, excited minds and the future of software development to “serverless” workflows. These developers have built everything from passive notifiers to help the elderly [0] to smart city garbage collection bins that integrate with City’s Slack teams to notify when bins need to be changed [1]. Our team is active 24 hours per day at these events and more, shipping releases to both paying customers and free tier developers into the wee hours of the morning. We’re very lucky to have a small but motivated team of the most competent engineers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and we’re humbled to be working with companies tens to hundreds of times our size that do hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue combined. So, pride? Certainly. :) I just don’t think it’s the deadly-sin type you may be insinuating. It would be disingenuous to my team, our customers, and our Enterprise partners if I wasn’t proud of the work we’re doing (that’s not to say there’s not plenty of room for improvement! We’re constantly growing and responding to customer and developer needs.). However, we don’t have a single customer that has asked for (or even suggested) any sort of foundation membership at this point. We simply don’t have the resources to be part of a committee: we are already stretched thin with many boots on the ground doing work that, yes, we’re proud of. I’m not precluding it from the future, it’s just not on our roadmap right now. Happy to understand how you think Prometheus may help us, though!
