The VictoriaMetrics Observability Blog

We’re excited to announce a new deployment region for VictoriaMetrics Cloud in ap-southeast-1 (Singapore), making it easier for users in Asia Pacific to run low-latency VictoriaMetrics Cloud stacks closer to home.

This post recaps the latest VictoriaMetrics Cloud updates, including enhanced multi-tenancy support for Access Tokens, exciting new ways to interact with VictoriaMetrics Cloud through the MCP Server integration and code-first libraries. We’re also continuing our journey of improving our docs with a fresh approach to discovering and deploying integrations.

VictoriaMetrics Enterprise now offers FIPS 140-3 compatible builds, leveraging the BoringCrypto module. This enables organizations in regulated sectors, such as the federal government, finance, and healthcare, to meet stringent cryptographic requirements using VictoriaMetrics.

We’re thrilled to announce the release of the VictoriaLogs Cluster version – one of the most requested and anticipated updates from our user community. If you’ve been pushing the boundaries of vertical scaling, the solution for horizontal scalability is now here.

Discover the latest improvements to integrations in VictoriaMetrics Cloud, including interactive guides, streamlined Kubernetes monitoring, and our commitment to full-stack observability without vendor lock-in.

When it comes to observability, people often refer to its three pillars: metrics, tracing, and logging. At VictoriaMetrics, we already have solutions for metrics and logging. Throughout these years, we’ve heard a common question from the community: When will VictoriaTraces be released? If you are interested in this topic, then this blog post is for you. We’ll share the results of our research into distributed tracing and explore two key questions: Will there be a VictoriaTraces? And how competitive could it be?

vmagent is a lightweight agent for collecting and forwarding metrics to remote storage. It supports relabeling, sharding, replication, aggregation, deduplication, and disk buffering to ensure reliable and efficient metric delivery.

Traditional concurrent Go tests can be flaky due to non-deterministic scheduler behavior and timing. Go 1.24’s experimental synctest feature provides deterministic testing by running goroutines in isolated ‘bubbles’ where a synthetic clock only advances when all internally managed goroutines are durably blocked.

Seeing that VictoriaMetrics products are this popular with engineers worldwide is fantastic: Just a little over a year ago, we hit 10K stars, and with the adoption of VictoriaLogs, the star count now went beyond 14K. Read about most recent achievements in this blog post.
