About Heroic
Heroic is an open-source monitoring system originally built at Spotify to address problems faced with large scale gathering and near real-time analysis of metrics. Heroic uses a small set of components which are responsible for very specific things. Indefinite retention, as long as you have the hardware spend. Federation support to connect multiple Heroic clusters into a global interface. Heroic uses a small set of components which are responsible for very specific things. Consumers are the component responsible for consuming metrics. When building Heroic it was quickly realized that navigating hundreds of millions of time series without context is hard. Heroic has support for federating requests, which allows multiple independent Heroic clusters to serve clients through a single global interface. This can be used to reduce the amount of geographical traffic by allowing one cluster to operate completely isolated within its zone.
