Discover multi-tier observability architecture with VictoriaMetrics OSS. Learn how to isolate default, high-cardinality, and business-critical workloads into separate tiers with optimized retention periods, ingestion resolution, cardinality limits, alerting policies, and cost controls.
Q1 2026 brought incremental but important updates to VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection: UI improvements, AI assistance inside the UI, a public traces playground, new false-positive reduction controls, and continued resource optimizations.
VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection has had a productive year with lots of user feedback that has had a major impact on product development. We’ve added improvements across the board: in core functionality, simplicity, performance, visualisation and AI integration. In addition to bug fixes and speedups, below is a list of what was accomplished in 2025.
Learn how to add observability to Vibe Coding Tools using OpenTelemetry and the VictoriaMetrics Stack. This guide explains how to configure popular vibe coding tools to export their metrics telemetry and get insights about your vibe coding sessions.
In 2025, VictoriaMetrics deepened its commitment to open source, community, and developer experience across the global cloud-native ecosystem. This year-in-review reflects on key observability themes, global engagement, OpenTelemetry contributions, and the people and conversations that shaped the year.
Learn how to add observability to AI agents using OpenTelemetry and the VictoriaMetrics Stack. This guide explains how to instrument popular LLM frameworks and visualize metrics, logs, and traces in Grafana.
Why did VictoriaTraces build gRPC support without using gRPC-Go? And what are the benefits of adopting a simple HTTP/2 server and easyproto?
The OpenTelemetry Astronomy Shop demo has long served as a reference environment for exploring observability in distributed systems, but until now it shipped with only a Prometheus datasource. VictoriaMetrics forked the demo and extended it with VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, and VictoriaTraces, providing insights into VictoriaMetrics’ observability stack where metrics, logs, and traces flow into a unified backend.
Proper alerting is an art. It is all about foreseeing bad scenarios before they happen, so you can prepare for them. In this article, we go through practical recommendations of approaching the alerting to reduce alerting fatigue and avoid false positives.
We believe microservices shouldn’t be the default and that companies should start with monoliths until reality actually demands they scale and shift from one node to a cluster of nodes. As a result, we offer clustering on an open source basis because we want to support realistic growth. Read on for details!
