Lightning Talk: Prometheus Native Histograms Are Now a Stable Feature
summary
Prometheus native histograms become a stable feature with a concrete compatibility promise: no breaking API changes until 4.0.0 covering PromQL, JSON results, proto formats and config. Production use at Graphan Labs already drives critical alerts, and migration changes land in 3.8: scrape_native_histogram option introduced while the old enable-feature-native-histograms flag is deprecated and removed in 3.9. Ongoing work includes text exposition/OpenMetrics 2.0 support, migration tooling, docs and UI/query improvements.
