System Design: Metric Collection Pipeline for Microservices
Prometheus is great at scraping metrics, but it stores everything on one pod's disk with one retention setting. Once data ages out, it's gone. In this short, we break down how Thanos decouples compute from storage, offloading sealed metric blocks to Amazon S3 and stitching fresh and historical data back together so Grafana sees one seamless source of truth.
