Thanos is an open source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Incubating status, which aims to create a highly available metric system with unlimited storage capacity. It can be seamlessly added on top of existing Prometheus deployments and provides features such as global query view, unlimited retention, and high availability of components, including Prometheus. Thanos leverages the Prometheus 2.0 storage format to cost-efficiently store historical metric data in any object storage while retaining fast query latencies. It also offers global querying view across all connected Prometheus servers, deduplication and merging of metrics collected from Prometheus HA pairs, and easy integration with existing Prometheus setups. The project’s philosophy is inspired by UNIX philosophy and the golang programming language, with each subcommand doing one thing and doing it well, and components working together. Thanos offers various deployment options, including a sidecar for Kubernetes and a receive component for scaling out or implementing with other remote write compatible sources. Releases are performed every 6 weeks, with main branch being stable and usable, and contributions are welcome through the project’s Slack channel, issue tracker, and CONTRIBUTING.md file. Adopters of Thanos include various organizations and individuals.
