### Benefits of agent mode
- Improved efficency. The customized Agent TSDB WAL removes the data immediately after successful writes. If it cannot reach the remote endpoint, it persists the data temporarily on the disk until the remote endpoint is back online. This is currently limited to a two-hour buffer only, similar to non-agent Prometheus. This means that there is no need to build chunks of data in memory or maintain a full index for querying purposes. Essentially the Agent mode uses a fraction of the resources that a normal Prometheus server would use in a similar situation.
- Agent mode eables easier [horizontal scalability for ingestion](https://prometheus.io/blog/2021/11/16/agent/#the-dream-auto-scalable-metric-ingestion).
