  VictoriaMetrics is a layer on top of Prometheus from a quick read. I managed simple alerts just using Prometheus's alert manager and aws's simple mail system, I prefer this simpler approach.

    > VictoriaMetrics is a layer on top of Prometheus from a quick read. Sorry, but you're wrong! VictoriaMetrics was built from scratch with own ideas [1][2][3] and never was build on top of Prometheus. Yes, it use some libs which are used in Prometheus/InfluxDB/othe open source projects but thats all. More over VictoriaMetrics team has created own query language, named MetricsQL [4] which is inspired by PromQL [5]. > I managed simple alerts just using Prometheus's alert manager and aws's simple mail system, I prefer this simpler approach. In the VictoriaMetrics stack, alerting is placed in a separate utility - vmalert [6] that is responsible for alerts and works with alertmanager as well as Prometheus.
