Summary

The text discusses the evolution of Hasura Cloud's monitoring system, which has become increasingly complex due to the growth of thousands of projects relying on its powerful GraphQL engine. The existing system relies on TimescaleDB and log ingestion, but it faces scalability issues such as high I/O speeds, delayed aggregate metrics, and frequent disk space issues. To address these challenges, Hasura introduces a new observability architecture that leverages Grafana, Prometheus, and its Data Delivery Network (DDN) to provide better insight into project performance, simplify troubleshooting, and offer granular, project-specific observability. The new system integrates the Wild GraphQL Data Source plugin with DDN to enable secure and scalable data delivery, allowing users to monitor their projects more easily and efficiently.
