Thanos is built on top of Prometheus and provides features like compression, retention policies, and horizontal scaling.
Why is Thanos important?
Thanos is important because it addresses the challenges of managing and storing large amounts of time-series data generated by modern applications and services. It provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for long term storage and retrieval of Prometheus data, making it an essential tool for monitoring and observability in production environments.

Aiven’s Journey to Thanos from M3DB
We are super excited to connect with the Thanos community on our first ThanosCon. The initial idea came during the recent PromCon in Berlin. Many Thanos developers and users attended that event. After experiencing an unforgettable vibe and love of the PromCon, and an amazing time together, we decided to build a similar experience for the Thanos audience, which might or might not use Prometheus to ingest the data to Thanos.
ThanosCon 2023
We cannot wait to hear about all the cool stuff you are doing with Thanos and to celebrate what we achieved together so far. Thanks to CNCF for helping us organize such a co-located event!
