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.
January 2026 updates deliver quality of life improvements, performance optimizations, and tighter Kubernetes integration across the VictoriaMetrics Observability Stack.
Cluster mode in VictoriaLogs is not a separate build. It is the same victoria-logs binary started with different flags, so you can scale out without a migration step. Storage nodes persist data on disk, while gateway nodes can stay stateless by pointing to storage with -storageNode. It also ships with practical safety switches, like read-only protection when -storageDataPath runs low and optional partial results when a storage node is down.
In the last quarter of 2025, VictoriaMetrics Cloud brings many great features: New powerful Capacity Tiers, the expansion to the us-east-1 (N.Virginia) AWS region in the US, new Notification Groups, a Terraform provider to complete your IaC, 9 brand new Alerting Rule Integrations and much more.
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.
VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection enables reliable alerting for highly variable, multi-domain traffic without relying on static thresholds. In this case study, fine-tuned models, backtesting, and clear visualization helped reduce alert noise, improve confidence in anomaly detection, and lower operational overhead.
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.
Spotify needed to replace its legacy in-house time series database to overcome stability and performance limitations, which would bring about query delays and timeouts. The Spotify observability team chose VictoriaMetrics to support efficient metric ingestion, querying, and alerting at scale.
