Running VictoriaMetrics on ARM-based processors
ARM processors become more popular and more cost-effective according to many benchmarks. One of them was made by Percona for MySQL. Some of our users reported issues with VictoriaMetrics at AWS Graviton instances. The main concerns were higher CPU and disk IO usage compared to x86 instances of the same size and for the same workload. By that time, we verified that VictoriaMetrics works fine for raspberry and IoT devices, but didn’t do any optimizations for ARM builds.
Managed VictoriaMetrics announcement
VictoriaMetrics is a fast and easy-to-use monitoring solution and time series database. It integrates well with existing monitoring systems such as Grafana, Prometheus, Graphite, InfluxDB, OpenTSDB and DataDog - see these docs for details. We are glad to announce the availability of Managed VictoriaMetrics at AWS Marketplace - try it right now!
Benchmarking Prometheus-compatible time series databases
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.

Roman Khavronenko | Open-source strategy at VictoriaMetrics
Building a company around free software product is not something new. What's less common is creating a company in order to build a free software product. This talk will cover our story of creating time series database, the lessons we learned, the mistakes we made. The free software world has changed over the last years. The one thing remains essential - importance of community, people who use the product.
Aliaksandr Valialkin and Roma Novikov - Percona- PMM: Migration From Prometheus to VictoriaMetrics
Recently, #PMM replaced Prometheus with #VictoriaMetrics. In the talk we want to cover the motivation behind this transition, the architecture and internals of PMM and technical details of the replacement. The talk is going to be held by members of both organizations who took a part in migration: #Percona and VictoriaMetrics.
Solving Metrics at scale with VictoriaMetrics
This talk will be about the problems with the Vanilla Prometheus architecture and how to solve metrics at scale using victoria metrics. The speaker will touch base on all the victoria metrics components, best practices for monitoring infrastructure.
