How VictoriaMetrics' Distributed Architecture Scales Massive Time‑Series Data

VictoriaMetrics employs a modular, horizontally scalable architecture composed of vmagent, vminsert, vmstorage, vmselect, and vmalert, each handling data collection, ingestion, storage, querying, and alerting, while leveraging consistent hashing, LSM‑tree storage, TSID indexing, and multi‑tenant isolation to efficiently manage large‑scale time‑series workloads.

Design and Optimization of Monitoring 2.0 Architecture with VictoriaMetrics and Flink

The new Monitoring 2.0 architecture separates collection, compute and storage, adopts VictoriaMetrics for compact time‑series storage and a zone‑based scheduler, introduces push‑based ingestion, uses Flink for real‑time pre‑aggregation and automatic PromQL rewrite, delivering ten‑fold query speedups, sub‑300 ms p90 latency, and dramatically higher write and query throughput.
