Definition

Open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit for collecting and querying metrics. Like having a health monitoring system for your applications that tracks everything and alerts you to problems.

Real-World Example

Operations teams use Prometheus to monitor application performance and get alerts when response times slow down.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Prometheus is an open-source metrics system. AWS, Azure, and GCP offer managed Prometheus-compatible services that handle scaling, storage, and operations while keeping PromQL querying. OCI does not have a first-party managed Prometheus service; Prometheus is typically self-managed on OCI (often with Kubernetes) or via third-party tooling.
