witcher··on Ask HN: Which configuration management software would/should you use in 2020?
I might be fanboy of the type safety and having a quick feedback loop, but I cannot imagine a better configuration management system than just straight configuration as code e.g. in Go: https://github.com/bwplotka/mimic

I really don't see why so many weird, unreadable languages like jsonnet or CUE were created, if there is already a type safe, script-like (Go compiles in miliseconds and there is even go run command), with full pledged IDE autocompletion support, abstractions and templating capabilities, mature dependency management and many many more.. Please tell me why we are inventing thousands weird things if we have ready tools that helps with configuration as well! (:

witcher··on Introducing Thanos: Prometheus at Scale
If by "Thanos nodes" you mean Thanos querier instances, then yes -> Does not matter to which one you actually ask. All have the same view and access to the old metrics (Store Gateway) and fresh ones (Prometheus+Sidecar - Scraper)
witcher··on Introducing Thanos: Prometheus at Scale
Either that or just use basic Thanos setup (as described in a blog post) that gives you better Prometheus HA support and global view. You can always add setup for long-term metric retention later on.
