The solution here is meant to be expanded easily and to keep things at a low cost. The “insane” prices were from NewRelic, using the Kubernetes integration and infrastructure monitoring. I am based in Brasil, so every price is “times 5” plus taxes. Right now we have a small number of clusters, but it will be growing on a fast pace in the future. For us, monitoring the new clusters will come easy as deploying a couple of new prometheus PODs inside the new cluster, adding a couple lines to our deploy pipeline. As for doing in house, since we have a complete private cloud solution, it makes sense for us, as mentioned by zzyzxd in another comment, Thanos is pretty straight forward and just works, it demands almost zero maintenance, we just keep an eye for storage consumption and new releases.
