Prometheus 3.0

I'm curios: are many people here actually still running mainline Prometheus over one of the numerous compatible solutions that are more scalable and have better storage? (Mimir, Victoria, Cortex, OpenObserve, ...)

I didn&#x27;t know this tool, and looking the homepage, is not clear to me if is something like Google Analytics to get metrics of website traffic, or something more dev oriented.<p>Someone can explain to me please? Maybe I&#x27;m a bit lost because I&#x27;m not a dev. I&#x27;m a designer considering selfhosted Google Analytics alternatives and this one may be interesting to add to the research (so far I have Matomo, plausible, open panel, umami, open replay, highlight). Thanks

That&#x27;s good news, especially the reduced memory usage and OTLP ingestion support look nice. I have experimented with OTLP metrics before but eventually fell back to prometheus to avoid adding another service to our systems.

Migration to victoria metrics has been on my list for nearly a year, but the licensing of it always scared me a bit. My main issue is CPU and memory usage of prometheus, so maybe this upgrade will fix that.

&gt; Native Histograms are still experimental and not yet enabled by default, and can be turned on by passing --enable-feature=native-histograms. Some aspects of Native Histograms, like the text format and accessor functions &#x2F; operators are still under active design.<p>Ah, slightly disappointed :). Looking at major version I thought it was going to be all about Native histograms.

A solid upgrade :)))

I&#x27;ve read entire page and still don&#x27;t know what it is. Release notes are communication tool and this was a failure as such. You are losing random passerbys by not telling what your product is in first sentence of release notes, especially x.0
