**Sector:** Platform Telemetry

# Grafana Mimir

### A highly available, multi-tenant memory bank designed for extensive historical telemetry and capacity planning.

**Grafana Mimir provides infinitely scalable, long-term metrics storage for the entire STD.DEV infrastructure.** By receiving remote writes from the central Prometheus scraper, Mimir ensures that historical hardware, container, and business telemetry data is securely preserved for long-term trend analysis and capacity planning.

### High-Availability Time-Series Storage

As the containerized STD.DEV architecture continuously emits millions of metrics per day, retaining that data within a standard Prometheus instance quickly becomes unsustainable. Grafana Mimir seamlessly resolves this by acting as the infinitely scalable memory bank within the broader observability stack. Underpinning this storage is a strict 3-2-2-1-0 backup strategy, which acts as a prerequisite to guarantee that all historical metrics are fully redundant and recoverable. While Prometheus aggressively scrapes real-time metrics from node exporters, cAdvisor, and Blackbox probes, its local storage is intentionally short-lived. Mimir bridges this gap by securely ingesting and archiving the entire cluster's high-availability telemetry stream. By seamlessly integrating with Grafana, Mimir allows the STD.DEV engineering team to effortlessly transition from investigating real-time anomalies to conducting extensive historical capacity planning across years of retained data.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Q: How does Grafana Mimir ensure data redundancy and recoverability for stored metrics?

Grafana Mimir guarantees that all historical metrics are fully redundant and recoverable by implementing a strict 3-2-2-1-0 backup strategy.

#### Q: What is the primary purpose of Grafana Mimir within the STD.DEV infrastructure?

Grafana Mimir provides infinitely scalable, long-term metrics storage for the entire STD.DEV infrastructure, ensuring historical data is preserved for trend analysis and capacity planning.

#### Q: How does Mimir handle the challenge of retaining large volumes of metrics data?

Mimir resolves the unsustainability of retaining massive amounts of data within a standard Prometheus instance by acting as an infinitely scalable memory bank within the observability stack.

#### Q: What role does Mimir play in bridging the gap between real-time scraping and long-term data retention?

While Prometheus focuses on aggressively scraping real-time metrics with short-lived local storage, Mimir bridges this gap by securely ingesting and archiving the entire cluster's high-availability telemetry stream.

#### Q: How does Mimir enable the engineering team to analyze historical data?

By seamlessly integrating with Grafana, Mimir allows the STD.DEV engineering team to effortlessly transition from investigating real-time anomalies to conducting extensive historical capacity planning across years of retained data.

#### Q: What types of data does Mimir store for long-term analysis?

Mimir securely preserves historical hardware, container, and business telemetry data for long-term trend analysis and capacity planning.
