What’s New (and What’s Next) in Prometheus

Prometheus, a prominent open-source monitoring system that graduated from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in 2018, has seen a surge in development activity across its ecosystem, with regular releases and numerous enhancements being made. Key improvements include fixing longstanding bugs, optimizing PromQL for efficiency, and introducing subquery support and sample limit configurations. The project has also seen increased integration efforts with remote storage solutions such as Cortex and Thanos. Looking forward, Prometheus aims to adopt OpenMetrics standards, support server-side metric metadata, and enable backfilling time series data. Contributions from programs like Google Summer of Code have been instrumental in advancing these developments, underscoring the vibrant and collaborative nature of the Prometheus community.
