Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use VictoriaMetrics to store, query, and monitor time series data from infrastructure, applications, and IoT devices. It works as a drop-in replacement for Prometheus with better performance and lower storage costs. You can run it on a single node or as a distributed cluster, use it for logs and traces alongside metrics, and connect it to Grafana or any Prometheus-compatible tool. It also offers a managed cloud version and an enterprise tier with support.
