- Momentum: Announcing 268 Million Downloads & 320% Growth in 2023
We’re happy to announce a landmark 320% growth in 2023!
VictoriaMetrics, our open source time series database and monitoring solution, already hit 268 million downloads this year (still counting), and received close to 13,000 stars on GitHub.
Some of the largest companies in the world are now customers and users of our simple, reliable and cost-efficient monitoring solution, including Grammarly, Criteo, Adidas, CERN, Roblox and Wix. As a result, our enterprise offering has grown exponentially, increasing by 320% over the last 12 months.
We’ll be talking about this year’s achievements as well as celebrating our 5th anniversary during our last meet up of the year on December 14th - please do join us to help us celebrate!
Enterprises flock to VictoriaMetrics thanks to its operational simplicity and outstanding data storage capacity, making it far more cost-efficient than competitors. This design reduces the energy required for data processing and storage by up to 90% compared to similar technologies. It uses significantly less CPU, RAM, and storage space compared to contemporaries, resulting in up to 10x cost savings for customers like Grammarly.
A milestone for the team this year was the introduction of VictoriaLogs, built upon the same principles that have driven VictoriaMetrics since its inception: simplicity, reliability and cost-efficiency. Early feedback shows that VictoriaLogs is up to 30x less expensive than other open-source solutions for logs, requiring up to 30x less RAM and up to 15x less disk space than comparable production workloads.
VictoriaLogs is expected to hit over 10,000 downloads by the end of the year, six months after launching.
Roman Khavronenko, one of our Co-founders and engineer stated, “Our team is thrilled with the progress and feedback we’ve received this year, but it doesn’t stop there. We’re excited to see where our innovation and product development takes us in 2024”.
To meet the needs of our rapid user and customer growth we’re growing our product team.
VictoriaMetrics welcomes Ivan Yatskevich, who has over 16 years experience in engineering, to lead the development of its best-selling hosted monitoring solution, Managed VictoriaMetrics.
Fedir Navruzov, who has 12 years of analytical experience including recent Data Science Lead roles, joins VictoriaMetrics to develop the new and upcoming VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection. This will integrate seamlessly with other VictoriaMetrics components, providing a complete end-to-end solution for monitoring and observability needs.

We love connecting with our community in person, and the next few months are packed with opportunities to do just that. Our team will be attending (and in some cases, speaking at) several conferences and meetups. If you’re planning to be there, we’d love to meet you—here’s where you can find us.
As we’re half-way through the year, we’d like to take this opportunity to provide an update on the most recent changes in our Long-Term Support (LTS) releases.
Open source defies everything you’ve ever heard or learned about business before. This blog post is an introduction to how we’re creating a sustainable business model rooted in open source.
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.
