Promscale
A deprecated unified observability backend for Prometheus, Jaeger, and OpenTelemetry metrics and traces built on PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB.
What is Promscale?
Promscale was an open-source unified observability backend that consolidated metrics from Prometheus and traces from Jaeger and OpenTelemetry into a single PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB database. It provided a durable, scalable storage solution with full PromQL compliance and SQL querying capabilities, simplifying the observability stack by reducing the need for multiple specialized databases.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and developers managing observability stacks who need a unified backend for metrics and traces, especially those already familiar with PostgreSQL seeking to reduce operational complexity.
Developers chose Promscale for its unified architecture that eliminated the need for separate storage systems, its 100% PromQL compliance, certified Jaeger integration, and the reliability of PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB for durable, scalable storage with advanced data management features.
