Graphite vs. VictoriaMetrics Community

1. It is well suited when you need to monitor large scale of metrics as compared to Prometheus it is faster,more reliable and can provide you metric for more retention period. 2. Uses less resource to run application , can easily be containerised 3. It supports both push and pull models and can be intergated with multiple alerting systems

Incentivized

• Easy to configure and manage
• Ready to be configured at cloud and microservices
• Easy to scale vertically and horizontally

Incentivized

• Community and Eco system -> Although it supports the ecosystem of Prometheus, it is still troublesome for someone who's not using Prometheus
• Configuration is not so easy, especially if you are a beginner, you will struggle a bit. Even the documentation is not so welcoming for beginners
• Built-in Visualisation is bare minimal, leading almost everyone to use some other extension/tool

Incentivized

Victoria metrics is cheaper and more efficient than Prometheus, in terms of data ingestions, hardware resources, and Storage mechanism, also supports Prometheus extensions, and query language by default. Although Prometheus has a larger community and support, because of the interoperability of Victoria metrics the difference wouldn't concern us much. At the same time, it made our migration simpler

Incentivized

• Lowered our infra costs in comparison with our older tools
• Need minimal effort for migration since it already supports Prometheus ecosystem
• Saved on Storage costs
