Only remote_write and Thanos do this correctly. IMO, Federation is mostly useful in extremely high-scale environments where the metrics on the "scrape Prometheus" instances are mostly used for recording rule rollups, and only the federation data is used. WIth remote_write and Thanos, I mostly see Federation as a legacy technique. It was an easy form of rollup and aggregation for large scale that was implemented in the early days. > > I can suggest another option for the OP though.
