Summary

We are writing to inform you that we've made the difficult decision to discontinue Promscale, a fully compliant remote storage for Prometheus that provided unified storage for traces and metrics with deep analysis and correlation capabilities. Promscale was created by Timescale for over two years and has been a labor of love for their team. However, after reevaluating company priorities, they've decided to redirect resources to other product areas. The GitHub repositories will remain publicly available but won't be maintained or evolved. Critical issues support will end on April 30th, 2023, and users are encouraged to transition to alternative solutions. Users can continue using Promscale with TimescaleDB, though it's not recommended due to lack of support. Alternative options for Prometheus remote storage and OpenTelemetry/ Jaeger tracing support are available, including native support products and the ability to convert OpenTelemetry traces to Jaeger traces through the OpenTelemetry Collector.
