Stop. Breathe. Listen. Say little. There is nothing you can say that will alter the course of this conversation to your benefit.
Sign nothing in that meeting. Your former employer just became the adverse party; don't take legal advice from them.

You can now export a rich set of metrics to Prometheus, unlocking more options for you to monitor your database with tools like Grafana, Datadog, and New Relic.

There's something so much fun about watching someone go 100% talking about something they're passionate about. Jumping all over the place, tripping over their words because they just love this shit so much and they want to tell the world.
