Какое отличие между системами мониторинга Prometheus и VictoriaMetrics в техническом плане?

Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics are systems for monitoring and storing metrics, but they have technical differences:

• Prometheus is a full-featured monitoring system with its own metrics collector, alerting support, and visualization. It stores data in a local TSDB (Time Series Database), optimized for time series.

• VictoriaMetrics is a high-performance TSDB compatible with the Prometheus API, but focused on scalability and efficient storage of large volumes of data. VictoriaMetrics is often used as a backend for storing metrics collected by Prometheus.

Thus, Prometheus is a comprehensive monitoring solution, while VictoriaMetrics is a specialized database for storing and processing metrics with high performance and scalability.
