Monitoring Microservices with Prometheus and Grafana

Thanos.io Apache SkyWalking Sentry.io VictoriaMetrics
  1. Open source, highly available Prometheus setup with long term storage capabilities.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I really don't get why "scrape the prometheus endpoint" is a go-to now, push model seems to be way less PITA to manage at scale. > If you get serious about Prometheus, eventually you will want longer data retention, checkout https://thanos.io/ Any idea how it compares with https://victoriametrics.com/ ? We're slowly looking for a replacement for InfluxDB (as 1.8 is essentially on life support), the low disk footprint is pretty big advantage here.

    Personally I've also used Apache Skywalking for a decent out of the box experience: https://skywalking.apache.org/ I've also heard good things about Sentry, though if you need to self-host it, then there's a bit of complexity to deal with: https://sentry.io/welcome/.
