Saswata Mukherjee is a Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat specializing in observability, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and distributed systems, with seven years of hands-on experience building and operating large-scale monitoring platforms. He helps design and run Observatorium and contributes as a maintainer to Thanos (a CNCF incubating project) and other open-source tooling, blending Go backend work with front-end UI improvements across notable repos. Comfortable in 24/7 on-call rotations and SRE incident management, he has delivered tenant-aware alerting, a critical OpenShift health API, and obsctl—a CLI now widely used within his organization. A regular speaker at events like KubeCon EU and a mentor in the Thanos/LFX ecosystem, he pairs deep engineering craft with community leadership. Notably, his work spans both UI test/quality improvements in Thanos and large-scale ingestion/alerting features that handle tens of millions of active series.
