Custom Metrics Stackdriver Adapter vs Prometheus Stackdriver Exporter
Developers should use this adapter when running Kubernetes workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or other platforms that need to send custom metrics to Stackdriver for centralized monitoring meets developers should use this exporter when they have prometheus monitoring in on-premises or non-gcp environments but want to integrate with google cloud's monitoring ecosystem for unified observability. Here's our take.
Custom Metrics Stackdriver Adapter

Custom Metrics Stackdriver Adapter
Nice PickDevelopers should use this adapter when running Kubernetes workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or other platforms that need to send custom metrics to Stackdriver for centralized monitoring
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for applications that expose metrics in Prometheus format but require integration with Google Cloud's tools for dashboards, alerts, and analysis
- +Related to: google-kubernetes-engine, prometheus
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict
Use Custom Metrics Stackdriver Adapter if: You want it is particularly useful for applications that expose metrics in prometheus format but require integration with google cloud's tools for dashboards, alerts, and analysis and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Prometheus Stackdriver Exporter if: You prioritize it's particularly useful for organizations migrating to gcp, running hybrid setups, or needing to consolidate metrics from kubernetes clusters (e over what Custom Metrics Stackdriver Adapter offers.
