Interview with Hostinger


Summary

Hostinger, a hosting company with 30 million clients, transitioned from a Nagios/Cacti/Ganglia monitoring stack to Prometheus in 2015 to improve automation and scalability. This switch resulted in significantly faster time resolution (from 5 minutes to 15 seconds) and a fourfold reduction in Mean Time To Detect (MTTD) for issues.

Currently, Hostinger is focused on scaling Prometheus to handle their growing infrastructure (around 2000 servers & 2TB of data) by implementing a highly available setup with multiple Prometheus and Alertmanager nodes, and utilizing tools like Trickster to cache data and prevent performance bottlenecks, particularly with Grafana dashboards. They also plan to expand monitoring to include client website performance.
