About:
Cortex is a horizontally scalable, multi-tenant Prometheus backend. It aggregates metrics from multiple Prometheus instances, providing long-term storage and querying capabilities. The tool enables organizations to centralize observability data while maintaining strict tenant isolation.
|
Key Features:
- Horizontal scalability for massive metric volumes
- Multi-tenancy with strict isolation
- Long-term storage with downsampling
- Prometheus-compatible query API
- S3/GCS/Cassandra storage backends
|
Use Cases:
- Centralized metric storage for large organizations
- Long-term retention of Prometheus data
- Multi-tenant observability platforms
- Scaling Prometheus beyond single-instance limits
|
Alternatives:
-
Thanos
– Similar scalability features but different architectural approach to sidecars and compaction
-
M3DB
– Provides storage but less focus on multi-tenancy and Prometheus compatibility
