I took offence with @valyala posting about Victoria Metrics in the Cortex Slack channel in the past, but I'm so glad he did because we had _endless_ issues with Cortex and we found Victoria Metrics to be _incredibly_ fast and reliable after trying it when he suggested that it could do something Cortex couldn't. This github response wasn't cross promotion though -- this was @vayala explaining how it could be implemented, as someone who has done it. The fact that no one complained when Thanos was mentioned, but complained when VM was mentioned shows how hypocritical some Prometheus contributors are. Honestly, @valyala should just create a metrics collector and then I wouldn't have to deal with the "we know better" attitude from some Prometheus contributors. The Victoria Metrics contributors are absolutely amazing. Every issue or suggestion has been implemented within days (sometimes hours) and every question answered in incredible detail, with warmth and friendliness.
