We Migrated from StatsD to Prometheus in One Month

说明与用途

团队在一个月内将 StatsD 迁移到 Prometheus，提升了存储、查询和告警功能。

问题

The team needed a more scalable, queryable metrics system than StatsD, which had limitations in data retention and alerting.

结果

The migration completed in one month, providing scalable storage, richer queries, and improved alerting while maintaining dashboard continuity.

工作流

• 1. Assessed current StatsD setup and identified gaps.
• 2. Designed Prometheus architecture with remote write to long‑term storage.
