Thanos
A highly available Prometheus setup with long-term storage capabilities, enabling global query views and unlimited metric retention.
What is Thanos?
Thanos is an open-source, highly available metric system that extends Prometheus with long-term storage capabilities and a global query view. It solves the problem of limited retention and scalability in Prometheus by allowing historical metrics to be stored cost-efficiently in object storage while maintaining fast query performance. It seamlessly integrates with existing Prometheus setups to provide a unified, fault-tolerant monitoring solution.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform teams managing large-scale Prometheus deployments in production environments, particularly those in Kubernetes or multi-cluster setups requiring high availability and unlimited metric retention.
Developers choose Thanos for its seamless integration with Prometheus, enabling global querying across all instances without disrupting existing setups. Its unique selling point is the combination of unlimited, cost-effective storage in any object storage with high availability and deduplication features, making it a robust solution for enterprise-scale monitoring.
