Vicky is about the best case scenario for a counter based metrics db. I am routinely impressed by the things it accomplishes but monarch & irondb from circonus use histograms as their base data structure which means they avoid all the hacks that counter based tsdb have to deal with. The obvious one in the Prometheus stack being having to pre-declare your histogram bounds.
