VictoriaMetrics Meetup March 2023

Watch the recording of the first VictoriaMetrics User Meet Up in 2023 live-streamed on our YouTube Channel. Our Founders team discussed Q1 2023 highlights, including features highlights, the 2023 roadmap for VictoriaMetrics, a first introduction to the upcoming VictoriaLogs - and we finished the meet up with an 'Ask Me Anything' session. Thanks for all the questions and the discussion! Enjoy the recording :-)

Save network costs with VictoriaMetrics remote write protocol

Prometheus remote write protocol is used by Prometheus for sending data to remote storage systems such as VictoriaMetrics. See these docs on how to setup Prometheus to send the data to VictoriaMetrics. This protocol is very simple - it writes the collected raw samples into WriteRequest protobuf message, then compresses the message with Snappy compression algorithm and sends it to the remote storage in an HTTTP POST request.
