This is all relative but I don't personally think so. Not on EC2+EBS, anyway. Certainly not as difficult as running/scaling an ES or Kafka cluster.

- Thaxll 6y agoIt's a completely different problem because by default Prometheus does not shard anything so you're bound to a single instance, where ES and Kafka are cluster based.
- smcleod 6y agoOut of interest what do you find hard about running ElasticSearch clusters? In my experience ES has been one of the easiest clustered / highly available and sharded systems I've ever run - especially for how incredibly performant and reliable it is. I've generally found that beyond right sizing your nodes, indexes and shard configuration - it pretty much just works without ever really having issues.
