About Prometheus
Prometheus is a popular system for collecting and querying whitebox and blackbox metrics, especially in the cloud native world of Kubernetes and ephemeral instances. Since its graduation in the CNCF three years ago, Prometheus has proven to be one of the most widely-adopted time series databases today with over 150+ third-party integrations and massive deployments in Fortune 100 organizations.
