Neste artigo, meu colega Luca Carboni, DevOps Engineer do escritório de Miro em Amsterdã, explica como é nossa infraestrutura de armazenamento de métricas. Todos os seus componentes obedecem aos princípios de alta disponibilidade (High Availability) e tolerância a falhas (Fault Tolerance), têm uma clara especialização, podem armazenar dados por um longo tempo e são ótimos em termos de custos.
A pilha em questão: Prometheus, Alertmanager, Pushgateway, Blackbox exporter, Grafana e VictoriaMetrics.
