PostgreSQL Prometheus Adapter - Initial Release

[Crunchy Data](https://www.crunchydata.com) is pleased to announce the initial release of the [PostgreSQL Prometheus Adapter](https://github.com/CrunchyData/postgresql-prometheus-adapter), a remote storage adapter for enabling [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus) to use PostgreSQL as a storage system for time-series metrics. You can find the PostgreSQL Prometheus Adapter project here:

PostgreSQL Prometheus Adapter leverages PostgreSQL 12's [native partitioning enhancements](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-partitioning.html) to efficiently store Prometheus time series data in a PostgreSQL database. Incoming data is processed by one or more threads that store the data in PostgreSQL partitions that are automatically created hourly or daily.

You can run the PostgreSQL Prometheus Adapter either as a cross-platform native application or within a container. We've provided a [guide](https://info.crunchydata.com/blog/using-postgres-to-back-prometheus-for-your-postgresql-monitoring-1) for how you can set up and use the PostgreSQL Prometheus Adapter here:

The PostgreSQL Prometheus Adapter is released under an [Apache 2.0 license](https://github.com/CrunchyData/postgresql-prometheus-adapter/blob/master/LICENSE). We welcome your feedback and contributions to the project!
