How we improved Grafana Mimir query performance by up to 10x

Earlier this year we introduced the world to Grafana Mimir, a highly scalable open source time series database for Prometheus. One of Mimir’s guarantees is 100% compatibility with PromQL, which it achieves by reusing the Prometheus PromQL engine. However, the execution of a query in the Prometheus PromQL engine is only performed in a single thread, so no matter how many CPU cores you throw at it, it will only ever use one core to run a single query.

More reliable merge checks

We are introducing a change to the pull request merge checks that will make them more reliable. Specifically, we will no longer allow pull requests to be merged while a build is in progress. It was possible for a pull request to be merged while some of its builds were still in progress and for those builds to fail after the merge has completed. This created an undesirable situation if build merge checks were enabled.
