Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Promscale Deprecation
Now that Promscale has been deprecated, what are the other ideal means of self-hosted long term Prometheus storage?

What do you use when you have to store high cardinality metrics?
Oh wow, I browsed the project just a few weeks ago, didn't see it then. I see the deprecation is recent (https://github.com/timescale/promscale/issues/1836)
- Promscale Has Been Discontinued

Show HN: SigNoz – open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic
They say:
> if you want to have a seamless experience between metrics and traces, then current experience of stitching together Prometheus & Jaeger is not great.
But I wonder if using Promscale https://github.com/timescale/promscale would make Prometheus & Jaeger not such a big problem as SigNoz imply.
Promscale readme:
> Promscale is a unified metric and trace observability backend for Prometheus, Jaeger and OpenTelemetry built on PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB.
Either way, SigNoz seems interesting indeed. And am glad to see that SigNoz supports OpenTelemetry.

Timescale raises $110M Series C
Hi! So the team is over 100 at this point, but engineering effort is spread across multiple products at this point.
The core timescaledb repo [0] has 10-15 primary engineers (although we are aggressively hiring for database internal engineers), with a few others working on DB hyperfunctions and our function pipelining [1] in a separate extension [2]. I think generally the set of folks who contribute to low-level database internals in C is just smaller than other type of projects.
We also have our promscale product [3], which is our observability backend powered by SQL & TimescaleDB.
And then there is Timescale Cloud, which is obviously a large engineering effort (most of which does not happen in public repos).
And we are hiring. Fully remote & global.

Tools for Querying Logs with SQL
Promscale is a connector for Prometheus, one of the leading open-source monitoring solutions. Promscale is developed by Timescale, a time series database with full compatibility to Postgres. Since logs are time series events, Timescale developed Promscale to ingest events from Prometheus and make them available in SQL. You can install Promscale in numerous ways.

Can Apache Druid replace Thanos? Can they complement themself?
In case it helps, Promscale (from Timescale) offers long-term storage for Prometheus data and supports both PromQL and SQL queries. Here's the project page: https://www.timescale.com/promscale/ and the repo is here https://github.com/timescale/promscale It also support OpenTelemetry tracing if that's of interest.

Benchmarking: TimescaleDB vs. ClickHouse
At first, let's give the definition of `time series`. This is a series of (timestamp, value) pairs ordered by timestamp. The `value` may contain arbitrary data - a floating-point value, a text, a json, a data structure with many columns, etc. Each time series is uniquely identified by its name plus an optional set of {label="value"} labels. For example, temperature{city="London",country="UK"} or log_stream{host="foobar",datacenter="abc",app="nginx"}.
ClickHouse is perfectly optimized for storing and querying of such time series, including metrics. That's true that ClickHouse isn't optimized for handling millions of tiny inserts per second. It prefers infrequent batches with big number of rows per each batch. But this isn't the real problem in practice, because:
1) ClickHouse provides Buffer table engine for frequent inserts.
2) It is easy to create a special proxy app or library for data buffering before sending it to ClickHouse.
TimescaleDB provides Promscale [1] - a service, which allows using TimescaleDB as a storage backend for Prometheus. Unfortunately, it doesn't show outstanding performance comparing to Prometheus itself and to other remote storage solutions for Prometheus. Promscale requires more disk space, disk IO, CPU and RAM according to production tests [2], [3].

Full disclosure: I'm CTO at VictoriaMetrics - competing solution for TimescaleDB. VictoriaMetrics is built on top of architecture ideas from ClickHouse.

Multi-Cluster Prometheus: Scaling Metrics Across Kubernetes Clusters
Building upon Bartłomiej Płotka's insightful blog on Prometheus and its passthrough agent mode, this post dives into implementing multi-cluster Prometheus support. Notably, the official inclusion of support in the widely-used kube-prometheus-stack came with the release in July 2023, making it easier to extend Prometheus monitoring across clusters.

Hands On: Pull metrics into Kubernetes from anywhere and treat them generically with the Keptn Metrics Server
The first thing you'll need, of course, is at least one backend to store metrics. So install Prometheus now:
-
Kubernetes Ingress Visibility
For the request following, something like jeager https://www.jaegertracing.io/, because you are talking more about tracing than necessarily logging. For just monitoring, https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack would be the starting point, then it depends. Nginx gives metrics out of the box, then you can pull in the dashboard like https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/14314-kubernetes-nginx-ingress-controller-nextgen-devops-nirvana/ , or full metal with something like service mesh monitoring which would provably fulfil most of the requirements

Smart-Cash project -Adding monitoring to EKS using Prometheus operator
kube-prometheus-stack is a Helm chart that contains several components to monitor the Kubernetes cluster, along with Grafana dashboards Grafana Dashboards to visualize the data. This option will be used in this article.

K8s Monitoring Per Namespace
This one I highly recommend: https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack
- Is Prometheus the right tool for my use case here?
-
Do we have any Prometheus metric to get the kubernetes cluster-level CPU/Memory requests/limits?
We use kube-prometheus-stack for metrics and have added the K8s views dashboards from grafana-dashboards-kubernetes. You should check out the k8s-views-global dashboard. I believe it's just what you are looking for.

Alertmanager SMTP configuration
You should take a look at "kube-prometheus-stack". It not only includes prometheus, node-exporter and Grafana but also a ton of preconfigured alerts and dashboards. Will save you a lot of work!
