In this exclusive VMblog video interview ahead of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025, David Marshall and Brian Ducharme speak with Aliaksandr Valialkin, Founder and CTO of VictoriaMetrics, about their innovative open source observability solutions.

Valialkin introduces VictoriaMetrics, a drop-in replacement for Prometheus that requires significantly fewer computing resources (CPU, memory, disk space) while delivering greater scalability. He then details VictoriaLogs, their newer logging solution that addresses user demands for a better alternative to existing open source options like Elasticsearch and Loki.Key highlights:

• How VictoriaLogs achieves up to 30x less memory usage and 10-15x less disk space compared to Elasticsearch
• The impressive 50:1 compression ratio (1TB of logs compressed to just 20GB)
• Zero-config setup with single binary deployment that automatically scales to available resources
• Superior query language optimized specifically for log analysis
• Easy Kubernetes integration via Helm charts and the VictoriaMetrics operator
• Recent benchmark results showing VictoriaLogs outperforming major databases including Elasticsearch, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL

During the interview, Solutions Engineer Mathias Palmersheim demonstrates VictoriaLogs' capabilities, showcasing its intuitive query interface, powerful extract pipes for structured data parsing, Grafana integration with custom plugins, recording rules, and their new anomaly detection capabilities powered by machine learning.

Valialkin also discusses industry trends for 2025, highlighting how AI is revolutionizing observability through improved incident resolution, anomaly detection, and enhanced documentation search capabilities.

The VictoriaMetrics team will be showcasing their full suite of products at KubeCon Europe 2025, including VictoriaMetrics Cloud (their database-as-a-service offering) and upcoming VictoriaLogs cloud integration.
