We scaled our new Prometheus TSDB Grafana Mimir to 1B active series

Mimir needs 30TB of RAM for a billion of active time series. That&#x27;s too big price for horizontal scalability comparing to the original Prometheus, which requires around 4TB of RAM for a billion of active time series according to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.robustperception.io&#x2F;how-much-ram-does-prometheus-2-x-need-for-cardinality-and-ingestion" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.robustperception.io&#x2F;how-much-ram-does-prometheus...</a><p>It would be great comparing Mimir RAM usage to other horizontally scalable time series databases such as M3DB, TimescaleDB, InfluxDB and others.
