Reviewer scorecard
“Best documentation in cloud computing. Tutorials alone make it worth recommending. Simple, predictable pricing.”
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“Not for enterprise scale but for startups and indie projects, the simplicity and pricing are unbeatable.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“Squeezed between hyper-scalers above and serverless platforms below. The mid-market IaaS space is shrinking.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
