Thanos is a project that turns your Prometheus installation into a highly available metric system with unlimited storage capacity. From a very high-level view, it does this by deploying a sidecar to Prometheus, which uploads the data blocks to any object storage. A store component downloads the blocks again and makes them accessible to a query component, which has the same API as Prometheus itself. This works nicely with Grafana because its the same API. So without much effort, you can view your nice dashboard graphs beyond the configured retention time of your Prometheus monitoring stack. and get an almost unlimited timeline , only restricted by object storage capacities. Thanos also provides downsampling of stored metrics, deduplication of data points and some more.
This program would never have finished without the hard work of Ihor Dvoretskyi and CNCF community members, thank you so much for everything.
2. Communication 👋🏻: As I mentioned above, making regular communication with the mentors, co-mentees and other members of the community is one of the most important things. This ensures you understand the working style of the organization and adapt to it in a better manner when the internship period actually starts. We, Thanos mentees, took an initiative to gather all the mentees and invite a speaker to our weekly calls to make the discussion more open, inclusive, and interactive. Here's the GitHub repo which contains all the notes and useful material.
