VictoriaMetrics February 2026 Ecosystem Updates

This month, we’re thrilled to see OpenAI using the VictoriaMetrics Stack internally — including VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, and VictoriaTraces — in their Harness engineering experiment, as shown in their architecture diagram. It’s a great way of combining observability and AI agents.

VictoriaMetrics at FOSDEM, Cloud Native Days France, and CfgMgmtCamp Ghent

Last week, members of the VictoriaMetrics team, including myself, spoke at three very different but equally important community events: FOSDEM in Brussels, Cloud Native Days France in Paris, and CfgMgmtCamp in Ghent. Each event drew a different crowd with its own expectations, making them a good way to see where open source observability stands today and how VictoriaMetrics is adapting to real-world needs. The talks we gave were snapshots of the problems we are actively working on.

VictoriaLogs in VictoriaMetrics Cloud: Fast, Cost-Effective Log Management is Here

Yes, you got it right: VictoriaLogs is now Generally Available in VictoriaMetrics Cloud! We believe that this is a huge milestone in our journey to deliver what our users are expecting from us: a complete, managed observability solution. If you’ve been following our quarterly updates, you know we’ve been after this launch for a while. In our latest update a few weeks ago we already announced that we were ready and today we’re making it official.

From PaaS to Observability: Implementing OTel with VictoriaMetrics

The final piece of the PaaS puzzle is observability. Once the platform is built, the challenge shifts to managing the volume of data generated by distributed services. In our first Tech Talk of 2026, Mathias and Marc discuss the technical path from platform deployment to standardized observability. We focus on the practical implementation of OpenTelemetry (OTel) and why choosing a high-performance backend is critical to avoiding the "Observability Tax.".

Telemetry Talks - Ep.1 - Observability and OpenTelemetry

In the first episode of Telemetry Talks, Diana talks with Jose, VictoriaMetrics Cloud Lead, about the practical origins of observability and how OpenTelemetry is shaping modern monitoring. They cover why observability became critical as systems moved from monoliths to microservices, how OpenTelemetry unifies traces, metrics, and logs while avoiding vendor lock-in, and how it integrates natively with VictoriaMetrics.
