About Cortex

Cortex is the horizontally scalable, durable, and fast Prometheus-compatible monitoring system.

Cortex v1.0 brings production-readiness to a wider audience, with production documentation, pre-canned Grafana dashboards and Prometheus alerts, and an easy-to-use “single process” mode.

Cortex has been in production for over three years, mostly at companies that employ the maintainers, such as Grafana Labs. It is now ready to go into production more widely.

Tom Wilkie

Chief Technology Officer, Grafana Labs

Tom is Chief Technology Officer at Grafana Labs, a member of the Prometheus team, and one of the original authors of the Cortex and Loki projects. In his spare time, he builds 3D printers and makes craft beer.

Goutham Veeramachaneni

Product Manager, Grafana Labs

Goutham is a Prometheus maintainer with experience maintaining the TSDB. After spending many years helping build and run the hosted Prometheus service at Grafana, he recently transitioned to product management, managing the Application Observability and OpenTelemetry products. He still hasn’t lost the itch to code, and continues to contribute to Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and other open source observability tools.
