Cortex

Multi-tenant long-term storage for Prometheus

About Cortex

A horizontally scalable, multi-tenant long-term storage system for Prometheus inspired by Google Borgmon concepts, used by cloud providers and large teams to offer Prometheus as a service. It is free and open source, so teams can self-host it, inspect the code and adapt it to their own infrastructure without licence fees or vendor lock-in. Typical users run it alongside existing workflows to cut manual effort, improve visibility and keep full control over data, configuration and upgrades over time.
