Mimir is just the DB, no metric scrapers, but it’s distributed and capable of high volume ingestion, retention and querying. Can’t scrape metrics though.
Alloy has no storage persistence, so it’s just the scraper part, but is massively scalable, its basically a Prometheus Agent on steroids. Can do logs, traces, Pyroscope profiles too.
So instead of deploying one server to scrape and store metrics, you deploy one to store and one to scrape.
Go to the Netherlands. Video Game Museum has a pair, and you can play for as long as you want for the entry ticket, no coins needed.
