Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit designed for reliability and scalability in modern, dynamic environments. It is widely used for monitoring containerized applications, microservices architectures, and cloud-native infrastructure. Prometheus integrates with various service discovery mechanisms, enabling automatic discovery and monitoring of dynamically changing environments such as Kubernetes clusters.

Features of Prometheus:

• Prometheus employs a multi-dimensional data model, allowing users to collect and query metrics with labels, enabling flexible and powerful monitoring queries.
• Prometheus follows a pull-based approach for collecting metrics from monitored targets, allowing for scalability and resilience in distributed environments.
• Prometheus provides a powerful query language called PromQL, enabling users to perform ad-hoc queries, aggregations, and analysis on collected metrics data.
