> What is it that you think prometheus offers over other solutions?

I like Prometheus and think this is a great piece of software. But even if we won't go into actual details, Prometheus is baked in into Kubernetes monitoring [0]. That's the first monitoring system young engineers will meet with when learning k8s. Although, k8s and Prometheus are both CNCF projects which means both of them will be promoted in synergy with each other.

This is not what I think younger engineers do :)
