Prometheus is an open‑source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit that stores metrics as time‑series data. It provides a powerful query language (PromQL), a built‑in web UI, and integrates with Alertmanager for notification handling.
Use cases
- collect and store metrics from microservices for real‑time monitoring
- set up alerting rules to notify on SLA breaches
- visualize time‑series data on dashboards for capacity planning
- scrape metrics from Kubernetes clusters using service discovery
- federate multiple Prometheus instances for a global view
When to choose
- you need a reliable, CNCF‑graduated monitoring system with a pull‑based model
- your environment is cloud‑native and you want native integration with Kubernetes
- you require a flexible query language and built‑in alerting capabilities
When to avoid
- you prefer a push‑only metrics model or need a distributed storage backend out of the box
- your stack relies heavily on proprietary or closed‑source monitoring solutions
- you need deep integration with non‑HTTP based protocols without exporters
