VictoriaMetrics is a fascinating open source project for metrics monitoring. In the past couple of years the project has expanded its scope from monitoring to observability, with the addition of VictoriaLogs and VictoriaTraces to the stack. In this episode, Horovits sits for a fireside chat with co-founder and Engineering Manager, Roman Khavronenko, to learn more about it. They discuss the transition, the new projects added to the stack, design considerations, and what’s coming next.

Roman is a software engineer with experience in distributed systems, monitoring and high-performance services. Prior to VictoriaMetrics, Roman worked as an engineer at Cloudflare.
