Ever wondered how big platforms monitor 100+ microservices without losing a single metric? In this video we design a complete Kubernetes monitoring pipeline using Prometheus, Thanos, and Grafana, with Amazon S3 as cheap, unlimited long-term storage.
We connect the full stack together: Prometheus, Thanos Sidecar, Store Gateway, Thanos Query, Compactor, and Grafana. We break down exactly what each component does and why a single Prometheus pod can never scale on its own, no jargon.
? By the end of this video you'll understand:
?How Prometheus scrapes and stores metrics in blocks
?Why local disk retention becomes a bottleneck at scale
?How Thanos Sidecar ships sealed blocks to S3
?How Store Gateway and Thanos Query merge fresh and historical data
?How Grafana visualizes everything from one place
? Don't just watch it, build it. Open the free lab and build this exact pipeline step by step in a real Kubernetes playground: https://kode.wiki/4vIb1Z9
