The Importance of Community Knowledge in Tech

Tools alone aren’t enough. How you use them and the expertise you tap into make all the difference. In this Short, we explore why even the best tools need the proper guidance to unlock their full potential. Open-source communities are goldmines of knowledge and support Connecting with experts can save you serious time and headaches While enterprise support is valuable, the community often has your back. Get practical tips to get the most out of your tools, and remember: it’s not just what you use; it’s how you connect, learn, and grow along the way.

How We Built VictoriaLogs Cluster: A CTO's

Go behind the scenes with the VictoriaMetrics team! In this special talk, Marc Sherwood is joined by our CTO, Alexander Marshalov, to explore our powerful, open-source logging solution, VictoriaLogs. This isn't just a feature showcase. This is a deep dive into the engineering mindset that drives our development. Alexander shares firsthand insights into why we built VictoriaLogs Cluster, the technical challenges of creating a distributed system for logs, and the core principles of simplicity and efficiency that guide our architecture.

Building a VictoriaMetrics PaaS: The What, Why, and "Easier Button" - Tech Talk #9

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.

Nonsense Networking: Tech Talk #8

Ever feel like getting simple data from your network is way harder than it should be? You're not alone. With so many devices, the amount of data can be overwhelming, making it tough to see what's actually happening. In this stream, we're breaking down the common frustrations with network monitoring. We'll cover: The SNMP Problem: We'll start with why the "standard" method, SNMP, is often a pain. We'll look at the challenge of finding the right MIBs and OIDs just to get tools like Telegraf or Prometheus to work.

Scale Your Monitoring Solution With the VictoriaMetrics Ecosystem

When it comes down to scaling time series monitoring solutions things can get messy. That’s one of the reasons why VictoriaMetrics, a Silver member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), started its journey some years ago. It is a simple, reliable and efficient set of Observability Solutions that's been adopted by many organizations. It's open source, with a strong community behind it, with enterprise and managed (Cloud) options for those who need support. VictoriaMetrics plays well with many standards, including Grafana and OpenTelemetry. Apart from that, in case you didn’t know, VictoriaLogs is the new kid in the block that's seriously outperforming other solutions. In this presentation, we’ll present the VictoriaMetrics Open Source projects and how they differ from other solutions, especially when it comes to scaling from single small setups to massive cluster deployments. Come learn how VictoriaMetrics projects can help to ease Observability!

Applying AI/ML in Observability - Tech Talk #7

Ready to master anomaly detection? Join us for Part 2 of our "Applying AI/ML in Observability" series, where we do a deep dive into vmanomaly! In this live stream, Mathis and Marc will be joined by a very special guest: Fred Navruzov, the lead developer and mastermind behind VictoriaMetrics' vmanomaly. If you want to move beyond the basics and unlock the full potential of AI-driven observability, this is a session you can't afford to miss.

Can AI/ML Guide Observability? Tech Talk #6

This talk will examine the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in observability. It will cover how AI/ML is being used to monitor systems, detect anomalies, and extract insights from telemetry data. The session will provide information on integrating AI/ML into observability pipelines, improving analytical capabilities, and system performance.
