## Cloud-Native Metrics
Prometheus fundamentally changed how infrastructure is monitored by introducing a highly reliable pull-based architecture and a powerful multi-dimensional data model.
### Core Concepts
- **Time Series Database (TSDB)**: Features a custom, highly compressed on-disk TSDB optimized for millions of active metric streams.
- **Pull Model**: Instead of services pushing metrics to a central server, Prometheus scrapes HTTP endpoints, making service discovery in Kubernetes trivial.
- **PromQL**: A deeply expressive query language that allows for complex aggregations, rate calculations, and alerting logic over time-series data.
