I was on a team once where we ran agent-mode Prometheus into a Mimir cluster and it was endless pain and suffering.

Parts of it would time out and blow up, one of the dozen components (slight hyperbole) they have you run would go down and half the cluster would go with it. It often had to be nursed back to health by hand, it was expensive to run, queries ate not even that fast.

Absolutely would not repeat the experience. We cheered the afternoon we landed the PR to dump it.

I definitely think that running the microservices deployment of Mimir (and Loki) looks hairy. But the monolithic deployments can handle pretty large volumes.
