### Why don't the Prometheus server components support TLS or authentication? Can I add those?
Note: The Prometheus team has recently changed their stance on this and
support for TLS and authentication in serving endpoints is now on the
[project's roadmap](/docs/introduction/roadmap/#tls-and-authentication-in-http-serving-endpoints).
As long as this is not implemented yet, the advice below still applies.
While TLS and authentication are frequently requested features, we have
intentionally not implemented them in any of Prometheus's server-side
components. There are so many different options and parameters for both (10+

### TLS and authentication in HTTP serving endpoints
The HTTP serving endpoints in Prometheus, Alertmanager, and the official exporters
do not have built-in support for TLS and authentication yet. Adding this support
will make it easier for people to deploy Prometheus components securely without
requiring a reverse proxy to add those features externally.
### Ranged subqueries
Currently PromQL only allows range selectors on raw series selectors, not on
arbitrary PromQL expressions. This makes it necessary to introduce intermediary
recording rules to compute some results (like the `max_over_time()` of
a `rate()`). [Subquery support](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/issues/1227)
will enable computing those results in a single query.

Prometheus has a range of client libraries and exporters. There are always more
