Why is #Thanos needed in Prometheus? Scaling prometheus for large-scale applications can be challenging, especially when dealing with hundreds of clusters. Major challenges with prometheus: - Disk space requirements: Prometheus stores time-series data, which can grow very large very quickly in large-scale environments. - Cost: As data volume increases, so does the cost of storage and compute resources. - Data retention: Keeping data for long periods (beyond the typical 15 days) becomes increasingly difficult and expensive. - Query performance: As data grows, query performance can degrade, especially for long-range queries. Thanos addresses these limitations by enabling long-term storage, global querying, and high availability, making it an ideal solution for scaling Prometheus.
