Add Grafana Mimir as a sandbox project

Project

We will grant permissions to submit the proposal

Name

Grafana Mimir

Desired Initial Maturity Level (Sandbox, Incubating, Graduated)

Sandbox

Problem Statement (i.e. problem you want to solve)

The current Prometheus monitoring stack, does not scale effectively as the volume of metrics and system complexity grows for BigBang users. This results in performance bottlenecks, inefficient long-term storage, and delayed query responses, making it difficult to maintain a monitoring and observability platform for BigBang environments.

Description

Grafana Mimir is a Prometheus-compatible time-series database designed to handle large-scale metrics workloads, addressing the scalability limitations of a standalone Prometheus. While BigBang currently supports Prometheus and Thanos, this proposal aims to consolidate around Mimir as a unified metrics storage platform. As part of this transition, a deprecation process for existing packages will be necessary.
