- Celebrating 14K Stars on GitHub: Spring Update


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. We don’t take these GitHub Stars milestones for granted: It’s amazing to see these stats grow organically thanks to the community of users out there who use our products. Thank you so much!
VictoriaMetrics sponsored SCaLE22x, which is the largest community-run open-source and free software conference in North America. We enjoyed talking to the community about open source, monitoring, observability, golang, … our favorite topics! No one was left without stickers 😎

We held the first VictoriaMetrics Online Community Meet Up of the year where we talked about new and cool features implemented in our products for the first quarter. The recording is available on our YouTube channel, so don’t miss the opportunity to watch an exciting demo by Natan Yellin: Using AI + VictoriaMetrics to Answer Developer Questions!

Our products have a lot of interesting features that not everyone knows about, so this year we have launched and held four VictoriaMetrics Tech Talks series - online sessions, where you can see how VictoriaMetrics works for blackbox monitoring, explore how VictoriaLogs makes log management effortless, and more.
It was a pleasure meeting everyone at KubeCon 2025, hearing your feedback, and discussing open source observability! We were thrilled to share the latest innovations in VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs, and to reconnect with the community—especially following our time at KubeCon Salt Lake City 2024. KubeCon continues to be a fantastic opportunity to engage with the community about our open source solutions and explore how we can support your monitoring and observability goals. Watch the highlights and see you at the next KubeCone NA this fall!

There are several interesting events lined up for the near future.
Don’t miss the next #5 Tech Talks: “Mastering vmalert: Best Practices for Effective Alerting”, which will be held this week.
For the first time, we’ll be holding “Features & Community Call”. We’ll talk about new features and improvements as well as answer interesting and frequently asked questions in our communities.

Our traditional VictoriaMetrics’ Virtual Meet Up will be held on June 19th, where we will discuss products and roadmap updates. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Eric Deleforterie’s story of adopting VictoriaMetrics products in his company and see a demo from Alexander Marshalov about using MCP server for VictoriaMetrics!

We’re excited for the next chapters of our journey—and, of course, the next 10,000 stars on GitHub!
Reduce observability costs with hybrid strategies: prioritize revenue-driving signals in SaaS, self-host high-volume telemetry. Cut bills 3-12x without losing visibility.
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 participated in KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam. The team delivered multiple talks covering platform design, Kubernetes observability, and distributed tracing optimization. A real-world case study from Miro showcased a cost-efficient, AZ-aware observability architecture built with VictoriaMetrics. With a 15-person team on site, the booth saw strong interest from users tackling scaling, cost, and performance challenges. The company also hosted its first community after-party, “After Deploy,” co-organized with Varnish and Shipfox, extending discussions beyond the conference.
Q1 2026 brought VictoriaLogs GA, a hosted MCP Server, a brand new cost calculator, a major expansion of alerting rule presets with a new editor, infrastructure improvements, notifications via generic webhooks and a few things we are cooking.
