* Easy operation:
* VictoriaMetrics consists of a single executable without external dependencies.
* All the configuration is done via explicit command-line flags with reasonable defaults.

Though single-node VictoriaMetrics cannot scale to multiple nodes, it is optimized for resource usage - storage size / bandwidth / IOPS, RAM, CPU.
This means that a single-node VictoriaMetrics may scale vertically and substitute moderately sized cluster built with competing solutions
such as Thanos, Uber M3, InfluxDB or TimescaleDB.

So try single-node VictoriaMetrics at first and then [switch to cluster version](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/cluster) if you still need
horizontally scalable long-term remote storage for really large Prometheus deployments.
