VictoriaMetrics

VictoriaMetrics is the company behind the open-source time series database project of the same name. VictoriaMetrics recently also released a new open-source logs management solution. Founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, now globally led and headquartered in the US, VictoriaMetrics is the scaleup leader in open source time series and logs monitoring. 

The VictoriaMetrics management team came together following successful careers at major tech companies to solve the complex problems around very large, constantly changing data types they had encountered. 

VictoriaMetrics boasts 750+ million downloads & counting; customers include Roblox, Grammarly, and Wix.

Please visit our website for more information & to get started: https://victoriametrics.com/

 

See how Grammarly cut observability costs by 10x, increased ingestion flexibility, and boosted performance with VictoriaMetrics. In the Grammarly team’s own words: 

“Ingestion type flexibility (support for Graphite, OpenMetrics, etc.) was definitely a winning feature and important benefit for us. VictoriaMetrics comes with good documentation and is easy to bootstrap. The high level of responsiveness of the VictoriaMetrics developers and support team during our research phase and production have made Grammarly extremely happy customers.”

Time series databases are essential tools in any software engineer’s toolbelt. Their development has been shaped by user needs and countless open source contributors, leading to the healthy ecosystem of options we see today.

Imagine your app generates 2 million time series from just a few labels—without the right tools, this could cause significant slowdowns!

#VictoriaMetrics helps you deal with high cardinality through raw performance — it supports over 10 million active time series on a single machine.

Read our brief history & walkthrough of rise of open source time series databases.
