Prometheus now has a "remote write" endpoint, but it's probably not what you want.
If you want a Prometheus-style "push" metrics system, then VictoriaMetrics may suit you better. https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Single-server-VictoriaMetrics.html#how-to-import-time-series-data Its query protocol is compatible with prometheus, and its query language is a superset of PromQL - so you can point Grafana dashboards at it as if it were prometheus, and they won't know the difference.
