How can Thanos help me achieve high availability for my Prometheus setup?

Thanos can combine multiple Prometheus instances into a more resilient monitoring architecture while providing a unified query layer across the environment.

Can Thanos help me store and query historical Prometheus data for an extended period?

Yes. Thanos can upload Prometheus metrics to object storage for long-term retention and make historical data available through components such as the Store Gateway and query layer.

How can Thanos help with multi-tenancy for Prometheus monitoring?

Thanos can be incorporated into multi-team monitoring architectures where metric data and access are separated appropriately while retaining centralized visibility across the overall observability platform.

Can Thanos improve query performance and reduce costs associated with querying large volumes of metric data?

Yes. Query Frontend caching, parallel query execution and carefully designed storage architecture can improve response times while reducing unnecessary load and infrastructure cost.

Can you fork the main branch and maintain it?

A maintained fork can be considered when an organization requires custom patches or behavior beyond the upstream project. The support model should define how changes are maintained, tested and kept aligned with upstream releases.
