If you like VictoriaMetrics and want to contribute, then we need the following:
* Filing issues and feature requests [here](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues).
* Spreading a word about VictoriaMetrics: conference talks, articles, comments, experience sharing with colleagues.
* Updating documentation.
We are open to third-party pull requests provided they follow [KISS design principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle):
* Prefer simple code and architecture.
* Avoid complex abstractions.
* Avoid magic code and fancy algorithms.
* Avoid [big external dependencies](https://medium.com/@valyala/stripping-dependency-bloat-in-victoriametrics-docker-image-983fb5912b0d).
* Minimize the number of moving parts in the distributed system.
* Avoid automated decisions, which may hurt cluster availability, consistency or performance.
Adhering `KISS` principle simplifies the resulting code and architecture, so it can be reviewed, understood and verified by many people.

## Pull request checklist
Before sending a pull request to [VictoriaMetrics repository](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/) please make sure it **conforms all** the following checks:
- The pull request conforms [`KISS` principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle). See [these docs](#kiss-principle) for more details.
- The pull request contains clear description of the change, with links to the related GitHub issues and [docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/), if needed.
- Commit messages contain concise yet clear descriptions. Include links to related GitHub issues in commit messages, if such issues exist.
- All the commits are signed and include `Signed-off-by` line. Use `git commit -s` to include `Signed-off-by` your commits.

* FEATURE: [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/): add support for [VictoriaMetrics remote write protocol](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/#victoriametrics-remote-write-protocol) when [sending / receiving data to / from Kafka](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/#kafka-integration). This protocol allows saving egress network bandwidth costs when sending data from `vmagent` to `Kafka` located in another datacenter or availability zone. See [this feature request](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/1225).
* BUGFIX: [stream aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/): suppress `series after dedup` error message in logs when `-remoteWrite.streamAggr.dedupInterval` command-line flag is set at [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmgent.html) or when `-streamAggr.dedupInterval` command-line flag is set at [single-node VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/).
## KISS principle

- Prefer simple code and architecture.
- Avoid complex abstractions.
- Avoid magic code and fancy algorithms.
- Apply optimizations, which make the code harder to understand, only if [profiling](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#profiling)
shows significant improvements in performance and scalability or significant reduction in RAM usage.
Profiling must be performed on [Go benchmarks](https://pkg.go.dev/testing#hdr-Benchmarks) and on production workload.
- Avoid [big external dependencies](https://medium.com/@valyala/stripping-dependency-bloat-in-victoriametrics-docker-image-983fb5912b0d).

- Avoid automated decisions, which may hurt cluster availability, consistency, performance or debuggability.
Adhering `KISS` principle simplifies the resulting code and architecture, so it can be reviewed, understood and debugged by wider audience.
Due to `KISS`, [cluster version of VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/cluster-victoriametrics/) has no the following "features" popular in distributed computing world:
- Fragile gossip protocols. See [failed attempt in Thanos](https://github.com/improbable-eng/thanos/blob/030bc345c12c446962225221795f4973848caab5/docs/proposals/completed/201809_gossip-removal.md).
- Hard-to-understand-and-implement-properly [Paxos protocols](https://www.quora.com/In-distributed-systems-what-is-a-simple-explanation-of-the-Paxos-algorithm).
- Complex replication schemes, which may go nuts in unforeseen edge cases. See [replication docs](#replication-and-data-safety) for details.
- Automatic data reshuffling between storage nodes, which may hurt cluster performance and availability.
- Automatic cluster resizing, which may cost you a lot of money if improperly configured.
- Automatic discovering and addition of new nodes in the cluster, which may mix data between dev and prod clusters :)
- Automatic leader election, which may result in split brain disaster on network errors.
