Architecting Growth: Scaling Tactics for Prometheus Metrics Collection

Explore scaling strategies for Prometheus metrics collection in this informative conference talk. Delve into the challenges of scaling Prometheus, from basic vertical scaling to advanced techniques like High-Availability and autoscaling Prometheus shards using Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPAs). Learn how two Prometheus-Operator maintainers tackle these scaling issues and discover how Prometheus-Operator simplifies scaling operations. Gain valuable insights into managing Prometheus at various scales, from small instances to enterprise-level deployments, and understand how to overcome the complexities associated with large-scale metric collection in cloud-native environments.
