Prometheus Ruby Client Data Stores Experiments

As part of our proposal of having Swappable Data Stores for the Ruby Client, we wrote many different stores, and ran a significant number of benchmarks to make sure our proposal performed adequately, and to choose what was the sweet spot of runtime performance, code simplicity, and confidence / stability of each store, to decide which stores should be proposed as the official ones.

In the repository, we share all the different stores that we wrote, plus all the benchmark and test scripts we created to make sure things worked the way we expected, and the results of those benchmarks.

Repo Contents

• Benchmarks: All our basic and detailed benchmarks, in the /benchmarks directory.
• Data Stores: All the other data stores we created in the process of proposing the 3 that ended up in the official repo. In the /data_stores directory.
• Tests for the data stores: In the /spec directory.

Running Tests

The Data Stores included in this repo have tests. Simply run:

bundle exec rspec

WARNING: The Specs for the Redis store start by flushing DB #13. If you have data in Redis, in DBs other than 0 (the default), you might want to check #13 before running these tests, or your data may go away.
