Because I left that team. :D They're still using it and are happy though.

The platform I'm currently working on uses GCP Cloud Metrics, which is all sorts of bad. Funny enough, today I was troubleshooting something on it and after a good 30-40 min of frustration I decided to ask Gemini.

Gemini not only confirmed that Cloud Metrics is incredibly bad, but it listed 5 different ways in which it's a horrible experience and why. I then added one and it went on an 6 paragraphs rant about in which ways that problem was horrible and frustrating.

I've been advocating for migrating to Victoria Metrics, and I think it's going to happen - there's too many competing priorities at the moment though, so it might take a while.

With VM, I've had great success with just quietly introducing it in one part of the system. People quickly notice how reliable and low fuss it is, and from there adoption grows.

It's one of those magical systems you can successfully grass-roots into an organisation with low to very low risk.

It's also so easy to start small and expand as required... It really is incredible technology in how simple and easy to operate it is.
