Prometheus is the CNCF graduated monitoring system for metrics collection, storage, and alerting. Pull-based model with PromQL for powerful queries.
Reviewer scorecard
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
