* Network usage: outbound traffic is negligible. Ingress traffic is ~100 bytes per ingested data point via
[Prometheus remote_write API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#remote_write).
The actual ingress bandwitdh usage depends on the average number of labels per ingested metric and the average size
of label values. Higher number of per-metric lables and longer label values mean higher ingress bandwidth.
The required resources for query path:
* RAM size: depends on the number of time series to scan in each query and the `step`
argument passed to [/api/v1/query_range](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/api/#range-queries).
Higher number of scanned time series and lower `step` argument results in higher RAM usage.
* CPU cores: a CPU core per 30 millions of scanned data points per second.
* Network usage: depends on the frequency and the type of incoming requests. Typical Grafana dashboards usually
require negligible network bandwidth.
