Prometheus was another option but millisecond-precise timestamps are a deal breaker in my field.

Curious, would microseconds suffice? Or are we talking about higher precision still?

Very likely they need nanosecond precision, https://www.thetradenews.com/fintech-firms-reduce-trading-ti...

Just like the sibling comment indicated, we (HFT, algo trading) need nanosecond precision for some metrics.
