Prometheus has become THE standard to collect data in a Cloud Native environment. It has successfully been able to bring light in the darkness of our Kubernetes cluster.
Like any solution that is aimed to collect and store data, scalability could become a challenge. Deploying Prometheus requires you to consider setting up the right process to make it:
Secure
Reliable and maintainable
Scalable.
As Prometheus gets adopted by more teams within your organization scaling Prometheus will become a challenge. That is usually the reason why many organizations are concerned about the number of solutions interacting with Prometheus API to collect data.
In this Performance Clinic Henrik Rexed, Cloud Native Advocate at Dynatrace will explain how Dynatrace is:
Securely scraping data from Prometheus
Scaling without adding extra load to your Prometheus server
Connecting the Prometheus data with Smartscape topology
