Initially built at SoundCloud, Prometheus is an open-source system monitoring and alerting toolkit.

Since 2012 when it was developed, Prometheus has been adopted by many organizations. Since it is an open source software, the project comprises of a thriving user community and active developer forums. Now managed independently of any company, it has become a standalone open source project now. After Kubernetes, Prometheus has joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in 2016 which emphasizes on the independent nature of governance structure of the project.

The Prometheus solution is mostly built on top of Ubuntu 18.04 installed on Azure. Tested by Apps4Rent engineers, this solution is been proven to work well on Azure.

• A multi-dimensional data model with time series data
