About:
Thanos is a high-performance, open-source metrics system that provides a global query view, long-term storage, and unlimited retention for Prometheus metrics. It enables highly available Prometheus setups by federating data across multiple instances. Its key value proposition is solving Prometheus' scalability and data retention limitations without sacrificing reliability.
Key Features:
  • Global querying across multiple Prometheus instances
  • Deduplication of data from high-availability pairs
  • Long-term storage with infinite retention
  • Sidecar pattern for non-intrusive integration
Use Cases:
  • Scaling Prometheus to multi-datacenter environments
  • Long-term metric retention for compliance and analysis
  • Creating a single pane of glass for federated metrics
  • Disaster recovery for Prometheus data
Alternatives:
  • Cortex – Cortex provides horizontally scalable Prometheus, often used for multi-tenant SaaS; Thanos focuses more on global query and HA features.
  • VictoriaMetrics – VictoriaMetrics offers a single binary with high performance and storage, while Thanos is a modular system composed of several components.
