We Migrated from StatsD to Prometheus in One Month

说明与用途

在一个月内将 StatsD 迁移到 Prometheus，提升了可扩展性和查询性能。

问题

StatsD was becoming a bottleneck and difficult to scale, leading to high cardinality issues and limited observability.

结果

The migration reduced metric latency, improved query performance, and enabled richer alerting, all completed within a single month.

工作流

• 1. Assessed current StatsD usage and identified key metrics.
• 2. Designed Prometheus schema and retention strategy.
