Episode 145: Bootstrapping an Open Source Monitoring Platform

Podcast episode with ⁠Aliaksandr Valialkin⁠ and ⁠Roman Khavronenko⁠ from VictoriaMetrics⁠

⁠Aliaksandr Valialkin⁠ and ⁠Roman Khavronenko⁠ are Co-Founders of ⁠VictoriaMetrics⁠, the open source time series database and monitoring platform built alongside their open source project, also called ⁠victoriametrics. ⁠

In this episode, we discuss the limitations to Prometheus and how ClickHouse inspired the founders to build VictoriaMetrics, how open source helped them attract their early users and gain momentum, the importance of simplicity and saying no to feature requests that would complicate the product, their approach to an Open Core model, their unique view on funding and why bootstrapping has been an advantage for them and more!
