I find the Prometheus data model intuitive (counter gauge histogram + labels), but the PromQL side of things (instant vs range vectors, series, etc) has never clicked.

Even on this cheat sheet, the return type / shape of each statement is not obvious to me. Feels strictly worse than SQL - what am I missing? Skill issue?

totally get where you're coming from. prometheus can be a bit of a head-scratcher at first. the data model is pretty neat, but promql takes some time to wrap your head around. maybe it's just about getting used to the way it structures queries compared to sql. practice makes perfect, but yeah, can be frustrating initially!
