Highly available Prometheus with scalable long-term storage capabilities

About Thanos

Thanos is an open source observability solution designed to enhance Prometheus by providing high availability and scalable long-term storage for metrics data. It enables enterprises to aggregate metrics from multiple Prometheus servers and clusters, allowing unified querying across distributed environments. This capability is critical for organizations managing complex, large-scale monitoring infrastructures that require reliable and consistent metric collection.

The platform supports integration with various object storage backends such as Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, OpenStack Swift, and Tencent COS, enabling virtually unlimited retention of monitoring data. Thanos also offers features like downsampling and data compaction to optimize query performance over large historical datasets. It is compatible with existing Prometheus tools and APIs, allowing seamless adoption without disrupting existing workflows. Thanos is ideal for enterprises seeking to scale their observability infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with the Prometheus ecosystem.
