Does anyone need to view metrics older than 2 weeks? What's your solution? I feel it's odd if you rely on a different software, e.g. for the most recent data, use Prometheus, and for older data, use something else. What if I want to compare the same metric in the last 4 weeks?

Multi-year projections? Client of ours has busy periods every year, and they want year-by-year comparisons. They expect/pay us to keep metrics (although heavily compressed/condensed) of the last 5 years.

No good migration story for existing data, that'll hurt us quite a lot. :(

First approaches are happening for this now:

- https://github.com/Percona-Lab/prom-migrate (requires old Prom server to run for reading out data)

- https://github.com/juliusv/prom-data-migrator (operates offline on old and new storage dirs directly)
