We Migrated from StatsD to Prometheus in One Month

说明与用途

将 Mixpanel 的监控从 StatsD 迁移到 Prometheus，提升了可扩展性和可观测性。

问题

StatsD could not scale to Mixpanel’s growing telemetry volume and lacked native support for Prometheus metrics.

结果

The migration completed in one month, improving metric visibility, reducing operational overhead, and enabling scalable alerting.

工作流

• 1. Assessed current StatsD usage and identified pain points
• 2. Designed a migration plan to expose metrics via Prometheus exporters
• 3. Implemented Prometheus exporters for existing services
• 4. Configured Grafana dashboards to replace StatsD visualizations
• 5. Migrated alerting rules to Prometheus Alertmanager
• 6. Performed staged rollouts and validated metric fidelity
• 7. Decommissioned StatsD infrastructure
