This pricing man....
We have a small Prometheus running on t3.xlarge instance. Yes we don't have a redundancy or anything fancy, but it's fine, we can live without it.
It does 105k samples scrapes every 10 seconds. If I plug these numbers in I get... $1.5k a month before storage and query costs.
That instance costs us $150 a month? Redundancy is expensive but surely not 10x?
I'm sure folks will say "yes, but how much does it costs you to run it?". Well, that's the thing, it's practically free to run. Prometheus just works as long as you don't do silly things.
