### Some of our initial challenges prior to moving to VictoriaMetrics
|
||||
|
||||
* Reducing cost by not using a managed solution of one of the clouds
|
||||
* Support HA and recover fast
|
||||
* No downtimes
|
||||
* Having our main prometheus using too much Ram and restarts.

|
||||
* Handles storage well
|
||||
* Available to use in Grafana easily
|
||||
* Single and small executable
|
||||
* Easy and fast backups
|
||||
* Better benchmarks than all the competitors
|
||||
* Open Source and maintained with good community

The huge scale of services and the diverse monitoring requirements bring great challenges to timeseries database’s reliability, availability, and performance. With year’s evolution, we finally build a metrics system around VictoriaMetrics, aiming to solve following problems:
|
||||
* Weak observability on application layer: in the past, internal monitoring of the product mainly focused on machine level. Although it also provided monitoring plugins for common frameworks, there was still room for improvement in both performance and visualization effects.
|
||||
* Linking metrics to trace: metrics are the most intuitive way to discover problems, such as "getting 10 failed http requests in the past 30s", but sometimes traces are also needed to locate the root cause of the errors.
|
||||
* Performance and cost: storage cost of the old metric system is relatively high, since prometheus as a standalone application cannot support large scale of data.
|
||||
* aggregate queries: aggregate queries are often needed and could take several seconds or even tens of seconds, slowing down troubleshooting process seriously.
|
||||
* Weak visualization capabilities: monitoring data are often used in YoY comparison and multi-instance comparison to help locate problems. Neither Prometheus UI nor Grafana supports this feature.

Alerts are evaluated on vmalert when necessary, either because metrics from multiple sources are needed or because the source is Prometheus in agent mode (mostly for kubernetes clusters). Prometheus Alertmanager and Grafana+Promxy combine all sources together so that the end users of dashboards (and ideally the recipients of alert notifications) don't have to worry where to look for some information.

### Our Solution
|
||||
|
||||
To address these challenges, we decided to migrate to VictoriaMetrics. We were drawn to its reputation for high performance, low resource usage, and scalability. The migration process was carefully planned to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption. We focused on:
|
||||
- **Data Optimization**: We reduced unnecessary metrics to minimize data ingestion and storage needs.
|
||||
- **Performance Enhancements**: VictoriaMetrics’ efficient query processing allowed us to achieve significantly faster query response times.
|
||||
- **Cost Efficiency**: The optimized storage format in VictoriaMetrics led to a noticeable reduction in our storage and operational costs.

### The Results
|
||||
|
||||
Post-migration, we successfully scaled our monitoring infrastructure to handle billions of data points daily, all while experiencing faster query performance and 60% reduction in yearly infra cost. The improved observability has enhanced our ability to deliver reliable service, allowing us to troubleshoot issues more quickly and effectively.
