This looks like an interesting product. We're figuring out our monitoring stack - but have also found Loki/Grafana - and we're looking at Victoria Metrics rather than Cortex. Our hope is that the combination will turn out to be able to scale down as well as up, and be possible to fit in with Docker swarm/compose on-prem and at digital ocean. Also looks like vector might be a good option for collecting data.

Will keep an eye out, to see if optrace might be a fit for us.

Curious to learn more about the tradeoffs you’ve found between Cortex and Victoria Metrics and why you could be drawn to one more than the other?

Mostly the promise that they do mostly the same, but vm uses less resources. I believe vm has slightly less resolution/fidelity - but not so much that we expect it to matter for our use-case.

But we're still implementing it - so we might still run into surprises.

Jan-Philip from Opstrace here, good morning. Would love to hear more, after all, when you know more :-). By the way, we had been asked about VictoriaMetrics before, here: https://github.com/opstrace/opstrace/discussions/98.
