avalanche

Avalanche serves a text-based Prometheus metrics endpoint for load testing Prometheus and possibly other OpenMetrics consumers.

Avalanche also supports load testing for services accepting data via Prometheus remote_write API such as Thanos, Cortex, M3DB, VictoriaMetrics and other services listed here.

Metric names and unique series change over time to simulate series churn.
