What's New in VictoriaMetrics Cloud Q3 2025? From new region in Asia to proactive alerts

The third quarter of 2025 has been a busy one for VictoriaMetrics Cloud! We expanded globally, polished the user experience, introduced new enterprise debugging tools, and delivered smarter alerts to help users make the most of their observability data.

If you missed our Quarterly Live Update, don’t worry! You can watch the full recording here:

Let’s recap what’s new in VictoriaMetrics Cloud this quarter.

As recently announced, VictoriaMetrics Cloud is now available in Asia-Pacific (ap-southeast-1). This means faster performance and lower latency for users in the region, with the same reliability and scalability you already know from VictoriaMetrics Cloud.

Read the full announcement in our dedicated blog post or directly launch your VictoriaMetrics Cloud deployment:

This is important for our users that have infrastructure, applications, (or even their own users!) in Asia. We’ve just removed unnecessary network round-trips and data transit overheads, helping:

• Metrics ingestion and query responsiveness
• Users with regulatory or compliance constraints over where data must be stored

If you’re already a VictoriaMetrics Cloud user, you can now launch new deployments in ap-southeast-1 (Singapore) via the console (region selector). If you’re evaluating VictoriaMetrics Cloud, you can just Sign Up and test our performance during a month free of charges.

Of course, if you’d like us to expand into additional regions, contact us and let us know! Your request helps guide our roadmap.

Since May 1st, AWS customers can only retire Private Pricing spend commitments with software validated as “100% built on AWS”. VictoriaMetrics Cloud now proudly carries the “Deployed on AWS” badge.

This means you can now use your AWS spend commitments on VictoriaMetrics Cloud. We totally sympathize with the need to wisely use expenses at the end of the year, and we’ll be happy to help in this tedious task.

We’ve rolled out a completely new left navigation menu designed to make everything just a click away. Now you can easily jump between all VictoriaMetrics Cloud functionality: from monitoring your deployments usage, change their settings, or manage access tokens.

We’ve also added breadcrumbs so you can quickly navigate between deployments without going back and forth.

This results in a further step towards a more modern observability experience, as we evolve the VictoriaStack into the Cloud, especially with Logs coming soon.

We know logs can be… a lot. That’s why we’ve improved the deployment logs view to make it easier to read and search through.

Deployment logs are now more responsive and accessible, color-coded and structured by columns, while they can still be filtered by date, service, or even regex (if that’s your coup of tea!).

In brief: finding what you need in long lines is now much simpler (and your eyes will thank you).

We’ve added two powerful features from VictoriaMetrics UI directly into VictoriaMetrics Cloud: the debugging tool for both Downsampling and Retention Filters.

These tools are now available in the Explore section, and you can now use them to easily understand or validate how these configurations affect your metrics before applying them to production.

In a nutshell, downsampling is the process of reducing data resolution over time into broader intervals. This helps in many ways:

• Saving storage
• Improving query performance without losing visibility for longer retention times
• Reduce overall load in your deployments

For example, if you want to keep raw data at one-second resolution for the past few days, while storing one-minute granularity for data older than a month, you just need to add downsampling configuration flags for the desired time intervals and metrics.

In general, we use retention configuration to determine how long time series data is kept before it’s deleted. But reality tells us that not all metrics are that relevant as the time passes. With retention filters, you can specify different policies per metric, label, or pattern: for example, keeping infrastructure metrics for 30 days and business KPIs for 180 days. This level of granularity allows you to fine-tune your storage.

In theory this is great, but in reality it can be scary. That’s where this Debugging Tool shines: it gives you an interactive way to simulate how downsampling and retention rules work. By playing around, you can check how these rules and filters will impact your metrics without changing your live setup. It works in 3 steps:

1. Enter a list of flags
2. Select one or more metrics to which the configuration should apply
3. And click “Apply” to generate a detailed preview

The result displays a comprehensive list of how each metric is affected.

If this is still a bit overwhelming for you, don’t forget that you can just click on the “Try Example” button to load sample configurations and metrics to see how the system behaves, as you learn without risks.

VictoriaMetrics Cloud automatically manages your deployment, but staying within your chosen tier is important to maintain stability and avoid throttling.

Now, you’ll receive notifications when you’re approaching or exceeding:

• Ingestion rate
• Active time series
• New series over 24h (churn rate)
• Datapoint read speed
• Series read per query

These alerts include actionable recommendations, helping you decide whether to scale up or optimize your workload.

Apart from all of these improvements, the new VictoriaMetrics Cloud version includes:

• Prometheus 3.0 MetricsQL support – including quoted label names
• New styles for compact screen resolutions
• API for VM Single: enabled log_new_series to track new series and identify churn sources
• Regular security updates including TLS 1.0 and 1.1 deprecation for improved security, as previously announced.

We’re not slowing down! Here’s what’s coming soon:

• New capacity tiers Stay tuned, because we are revamping our tiers. Based on real-world usage, new benchmarks and feedback, we’re providing a new list of VictoriaMetrics Cloud tiers to ensure smoother scalability and clearer progression between deployments.

• Logs are coming to VictoriaMetrics Cloud! As we advance in our path to deliver VictoriaLogs in VictoriaMetrics Cloud, we can announce that the integration with initial support for OpenTelemetry, Vector, and FluentBit is done (and Perses warming up on the bench). The new UI already includes selectors and integrations by type, and early PoCs are looking great. I want to personally take this opportunity to thank our great community of users and customers for their feedback (still open!).

As always, thanks for spending this time with us and for being part of the VictoriaMetrics community ❤️. Your feedback keeps shaping the future of VictoriaMetrics Cloud.
