VictoriaMetrics

VictoriaMetrics is a time-series database and monitoring backend that is compatible with Prometheus protocols. It is developed by VictoriaMetrics and licensed under Apache-2.0, an open-source licence. It is available in single-node and cluster forms and can be run self-managed. The latest release is v1.153.0, dated 28 September 2026. Whether the company offers enterprise editions or a managed cloud service has not been verified, and pricing has not been checked, so buyers who need a hosted service, commercial support or published prices should ask the vendor directly before relying on any such option. The open-source software is free to use, so cost then depends on the infrastructure it runs on. VictoriaMetrics suits teams that already use Prometheus-style metrics collection and want a storage and query backend that accepts the same protocols, with the choice between a simple single-node installation and a clustered one as their data grows. It is categorised as a time-series database with a monitoring role, so it can be compared both with other time-series databases and with monitoring tools. The project shows as active, with a release in late September 2026.
