Creating a Sustainable Open Source Business Model - Introduction

Open source defies everything you’ve ever heard or learned about business before (author’s quote). Yes, open source software has been around since the 90s, but there’s still little else like it. If anything, as time has gone on, we’ve added adjacent concepts like “open core” and “source available” that have added complexity to a model that isn’t that straight forward to grasp to begin with. VictoriaMetrics is an open source company.

Bridging the Gap Integrating Logs Metrics and Flow for Observability

In this video, we discuss handling both old and new systems in IT environments. From legacy SNMP setups to modern telemetry, most organizations juggle multiple data sources, which can make observability feel overwhelming. We explore how to combine logs, metrics, and flow data into one system that provides actionable insights. You’ll see practical examples of simplifying scattered tools and making sense of complex, disparate information. Understanding how these different types of data work together is key to getting observability right.

Full-Stack Observability with VictoriaMetrics in the OTel Demo

The OpenTelemetry Astronomy Shop is a widely used demonstration environment designed to illustrate the concepts and practical implementation of observability in distributed systems. Built as a microservice-based e-commerce application, the demo provides developers with a near real-world environment where they can explore how telemetry data—metrics, logs, and traces—can be collected, processed, and visualized.
