The importance of retaining long-term metric data and using Python data analytics ecosystem with Prometheus data for capacity planning and other purposes
- Tamland is a tool used for capacity planning that relies on long-term metric data retention and Python data analytics ecosystem with Prometheus data
- Retaining long-term metric data is important for answering future questions and can be done with tools like Thanos, Cortex, Mamir, and Timescale DB
- Python libraries like Prometheus pandas, Prophet, Neural Prophet, and Great Kite can be used for analyzing data and forecasting
- Timeline, an open-source project available on GitLab, can be used for capacity planning and other purposes like Cloud cost forecasting, security and abuse monitoring, and network monitoring
