FWIW we've also tried all sorts of different things, and honestly the very vanilla (prometheus -> central thanos, fluentbit -> central loki, grafana) ends up on top. The resource consumption is surprisingly minimal (for a sense of scale, we run about 200k eps for metrics and 1k eps for logs). For all these solutions, I find myself asking the same question as you.. what problem are you trying to solve? Is there anything actually different about your product other than less stability than the battle-tested stack?
