Is anyone frustrated with anything about Prometheus?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PrometheusMonitoring

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • opentelemetry-go

    OpenTelemetry Go API and SDK

  • We're fully aware that a large observability ecosystem exists outside of Google and that offering a brand new foundational component of the stack is a very ambitious goal, but OTOH there are use cases that simply cannot be addressed by Prometheus (pretty much like they couldn't be addressed by Borgmon). Besides, we plan to integrate with existing leading technologies such as OpenTelemetry and ease hypothetical migrations e.g. by writing a scraper for Prometheus clients that actually writes data to our database.

  • thanos

    Highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities. A CNCF Incubating project.

  • Yes, but also no. The Prometheus ecosystem already has two FOSS time-series databases that are complementary to Prometheus itself. Thanos and Mimir. Not to mention M3db, developed at Uber, and Cortex, then ancestor of Mimir. There's a bunch of others I won't mention as it would take too long.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
