summary
Thanos extends Prometheus with composable pieces—sidecar and query components, a store-gateway and compactor, plus a remote-receiver that uses a hash ring and replication—to provide a global query view, high availability, and effectively unlimited retention by uploading Prometheus TSDB blocks to object storage. Dozens of companies run it; Red Hat uses the remote-receiver to ingest metrics from thousands of OpenShift clusters, and companies report it working in production at multi‑cluster scale.
