AWS has introduced a new Apache Flink connector for Prometheus, enabling direct writing of processed metrics to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus. The connector allows preprocessing of high-volume observability data using Flink to manage cardinality, reduce frequency, and enrich raw metrics before storage. This integration helps organizations build scalable real-time monitoring solutions by efficiently handling millions of events from distributed assets like IoT devices and connected cars. The connector features horizontal scaling capabilities and optimized write operations through Remote-Write interface support.
