Prometheus cannot evaluate a query over time series that do not fit in the memory of a single node, therefore it is not scalable.

The fact that it could theoretically ingest an infinite amount of data that it cannot thereafter query is not very interesting.




It can? It just partitions the query over multiple nodes?


Where is the code to do that?


Oh, I see what you mean. Sure, it's in Thanos, or Grafana, or whatever layer above, not Prometheus itself.
