We’ve just open sourced a Kubernetes operator for @cortexmetrics. If you are using Cortex, or thinking about it, take a look. We opened this very early so you can follow progress and contribute. opstrace.com/blog/introducin…

Very good question from @roidelapluie today on @fosdem: "What prevents @CortexMetrics & @ThanosMetrics merging?" TL;DR: Current state (not merged/sharing code) has its perks and both projects don't want to spend 6 months renaming variables 🤗🙃

I'd summarise the problems enterprises face with @Prometheus into broadly three categories: federation, scale & security. The federation arch for Prometheus is pretty out there for a lot of enterprises; this is why project like @ThanosMetrics and @CortexMetrics exist. 3/n

The team at @MetricsVictoria recently published some benchmarks comparing their product vs. Promscale: valyala.medium.com/promscale… These benchmarks, like others that Victoria Metrics has done in the past, are not completely honest. 1/

On the blog today, @tom_wilkie, @PrometheusIO maintainer and @cortexmetrics co-creator, talks about why Grafana Labs helped AWS build its new managed Prometheus service. grafana.com/blog/2020/12/18/…

Learn how the @awscloud team partnered with @cortexmetrics maintainers at Grafana Labs and what improvements are coming soon to the project. aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensou… #cloudnative

Prometheus is 💯 but can be hard to scale. Here's how @awscloud partnered w/ @grafana Labs to use & contribute to Cortex (open sourced by @weaveworks) to scale Prometheus aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensou… (I ❤️ stories like this bc they depend upon engineers from diff co's collaborating)
I met @Werner years ago at a conference London, where he spoke about distributed systems architecture. I doubt he remembers me! Surreal to see him announce a product using on a dist. sys. I co-wrote! (@cortexmetrics powers their @PrometheusIO service)
