Yeah, whatever you do, don’t use Mimir.

Operational nightmare, expensive to run, various parts of the entirely-too-many moving pieces it contains broke all the time and the performance was…unimpressive.

I‘ve heard that some people manage to run this thing successfully, and power to them, but I want nothing more to do with it.

Just save yourself the pain and use Victoria Metrics. Added benefit: you get an implementation of a rate function that’s actually correct.

I have been running Mimir reasonably well. When it comes to performance, what exactly did you find unimpressive? Interested to know any pitfalls or pain points you have encountered so far?
