Yeah I dunno about this, and the grafana service. They’re not exactly complicated to run on their own. At this pricing you may as well be on Datadog.
Prometheus is not easy to run at scale on the storage side.

Scaling prometheus across multiple separate Kubernetes clusters is a fking nightmare.
Re: Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus
#23Everyone here complaining about the pricing on the managed Grafana and Prometheus services have clearly never worked at a shop using SumoLogic. Log/metric processing/querying is expensive for a reason.

#24Do we know which scalable prometheus backend are they running? Chronosphere? Thanos?

The Grafana blog post mentions Cortex, something I'm not familiar with:

Re: Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus
#26I just went through the "process" of installing Grafana, Loki, Promtail and Prometheus on an ubuntu box and it is almost like the company behind all of this has gone out of the their way to make it hard. It isn't really _that_ difficult to get set up, but it also isn't 'apt install' easy (you really want me to create my own startup scripts?) and required me to build my own documentation on how I installed everything.

#27I don't see any mention of Pushgateway. They'll need to add that or I won't be able to monitor ephemeral jobs.

This is all relative but I don't personally think so. Not on EC2+EBS, anyway. Certainly not as difficult as running/scaling an ES or Kafka cluster.

It's almost like the company behind it wants to see some profit after pouring millions of dollars into developing these tools. Except, in 2020 you cannot just have a closed-source easy-to-use documented and supported product with a license fee. Not in the server market, at least. Everything must be free and open-source, and you are expected to make money by offering a hosted service. Except, good luck competing with Big Cloud.

Try VictoriaMetrics. Deploy stateless Prometheuses that remote_write to central VictoriaMetrics instance.
