Scaling Prometheus: From Single Node to Enterprise-Grade Observability

Scaling Prometheus: From Single Node to Enterprise-Grade Observability

Prometheus operates as a solitary, pull-driven monitoring system, archiving data in a refined format with PromQL for queries. Memory and local disk play the role of custodians for data, yet they face scalability hurdles amid cardinality explosion. Linking multiple servers can somewhat ameliorate visibility, but more robust solutions like Thanos or Cortex tap into object storage for extended retention. Victoria Metrics shines with a breezier setup, leveraging disk storage and an exclusive optimized file structure.
