Prometheus is the CNCF graduated monitoring system for metrics collection, storage, and alerting. Pull-based model with PromQL for powerful queries.
Reviewer scorecard
“Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Functions get you from zero to production fast. The free tier is generous.”
“The standard for metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“Firestore's limitations become painful at scale. Supabase with Postgres is the modern alternative.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“Firebase defined BaaS but Supabase's open-source, Postgres-based approach is the future.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
