DI SAD VANTAG ES
• Prometheus can be res ource-intens ive,
es pecially when dealing with a high number of
metrics .
• Prometheus does not have built-in s upport for
authentication and authorizat ion.
• While Prometheus can handle large volumes of
data, s caling can become challenging.
• I t does not natively s upport non-time s eries
data types .
Let's dive into the demo to see
Prometheus in action and understand
how it can effectively monitor your
system's performance. We'll explore
its powerful features and real-time
capabilities.
