Congrats! Well done, seriously. I love it when things like this happen; settling on Prometheus as a standard will open access to so much more tooling.

(Which is also why I'm super excited to use timescale [http://www.timescale.com] once grafana gets support for postgres!)

Thanks! Shared tooling is exactly why we're doing it. If we can make it easier for our users and potentially easy for some Prometheus users, it's a win. That's one takeaway I have from the Graphite project and community. So much tooling was built up on that standard over time and much of it was very useful. Iterating and narrowing in on a standard will get us to that same spot so I think it's great.

There's already a two-way integration between Prometheus and TimescaleDB: https://github.com/timescale/pg_prometheus
