It’s Cortex, though the particular configuration shares a lot of code with Thanos.

If you know technical details, are there any metrics cardinality limitations?
There are soft limits _everywhere_, to stop people shooting themselves in the foot. Those can be raised by admins after checking the user knows what they are doing.

I do not know what the practical limits are right now; especially I do not know what size hardware AWS run it on.

If you were to search the Cortex Slack you would find people talking about instances with 100 million series, also people talking about work to improve scalability.
