Some time ago, Aliaksandr Valialkin published a medium post about comparing VictoriaMetrics and Prometheus resource usage when scraping metrics from thousands of targets. He used node_exporter as a source for metrics to scrape, which is very close to most real-world scenarios. However, the benchmark itself was just a bunch of scripts and a lot of manual work for every test.
2021 was a great year for VictoriaMetrics! We delivered a lot of new features, our team doubled in size, and so did the list of public case studies written by VictoriaMetrics users as well as the community contributions to the product. See our 2021 Momentum blog post for details on all our achievements last year. All this wouldn’t be possible without our supportive community, their help, patience and creativity.
The 2021 year is finished, so it’s time to look at changes VictoriaMetrics has gained during the past year. The first release in 2021 was v1.52.0. The last release in 2021 was v1.71.0. More than 20 new releases of VictoriaMetrics were published during the 2021. The full changelog is available at this page. Let’s look at the most interesting changes.
We took advantage of the quiet days between holidays to look back on the year past and thank our users and customers for their support in 2021 - and wish you a very happy 2022!
