Why it's listed

Prometheus is listed in monitoring, uptime & alerts because it competes on utility: pull-based metrics & alerting, cncf-graduated. It's stewarded by a non-profit or foundation, which structurally protects it from acquisition-driven enshittification. Licensed Apache-2.0; pricing: free. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
