Seriously impressed with Victoria Logs.

We're replacing our ElasticSearch cluster (27 nodes, ~588 CPU Cores, with 4656gb RAM) with a single VL Node (8 CPU Cores, 64gb RAM).

We shipped 100m logs to VL in the last hour - box is basically idling with only a couple of GB of RAM used. Any random search query returns in a fraction of a second.

Seriously seriously impressive.

@gnomon @phs @algernon We're someday going to have to replace our Loki setup that I'm no longer happy with¹, and if/when we do, I suspect VictoriaLogs will be the leading candidate. For now, our Loki setup (ingesting system logs from ~140 Linux servers on a basic 1U server) just sits there and doesn't explode on us and manages to use trivial disk space for a year+ of logs. (We've had to erase all current Loki logs and restart periodically for reasons).
