Hooray! Couldn't come at a better time for me, we're about to roll it out to all our customers and the API stability promises are great news.

Many thanks to the authors for all their hard work, and congrats.

Is there a company offering a SaaS version of Prometheus?

There's noone presently offering that, it's designed more with a view to being on-prem for reliability (http://www.robustperception.io/monitoring-without-consensus/).

Understood and generally agreed. That said, often when monitoring matters most is the exact moment when you least want to worry about the integrity or uptime of your monitoring.

Not yet, but one or more companies are working on this as part of their offerings in the future. Stay tuned!

Note that a hosted Prometheus service has different design tradeoffs. As Brian mentioned, Prometheus as it is is really meant to be run as close as possible to your monitored services for maximum reliability. Also, there's no clustered and long-term durable storage for a similar reason, which will likely be different in hosted versions.

What is the best GitHub issue to follow to find out when Prometheus supports events older than the configurable 5 minute limit?

I'm blocked because a network partition can mean no stats.

Edit: Maybe https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/398 ? Also, limit is configurable.

That's exactly our thinking, and why we want to minimise dependencies - including internet access.
