Explore scaling strategies for Prometheus metrics collection in this informative conference talk. Delve into the challenges of scaling Prometheus, from basic vertical scaling to advanced techniques like High-Availability and autoscaling Prometheus shards using Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPAs). Learn how two Prometheus-Operator maintainers tackle these scaling issues and discover how Prometheus-Operator simplifies scaling operations. Gain valuable insights into managing Prometheus at various scales, from small instances to enterprise-level deployments, and understand how to overcome the complexities associated with large-scale metric collection in cloud-native environments.
