From UI to Storage - Unraveling the Magic of Thanos Query Processing

Unravel the magic of Thanos query processing in this informative conference talk. Explore the journey from UI to storage as Thanos maintainers Michael Hoffmann and Giedrius Statkevičius provide a comprehensive walkthrough of PromQL evaluation. Discover how Thanos, an open-source system for highly available Prometheus setups with long-term storage capabilities, manages to answer PromQL queries using data from disparate, highly distributed sources. Learn about the communication between microservices over gRPC, the process of gathering data from different nodes, and the utilization of the new, more efficient PromQL Engine to produce results. Gain insights into effectively configuring and deploying Thanos on Kubernetes clusters and beyond. Connect with the Thanos community, ask questions, and deepen your understanding of this powerful tool trusted by users managing billions of series and years of retention in globe-spanning clusters.
