VictoriaLogs v1.0.0 Release

Hi, HN friends! I'm pleased to announce production-ready release of VictoriaLogs - open source database for logs! It has the following features: - It is easy to manage - just a single small executable without external dependencies, which just works. There is no need in complex configuration and tuning - it works optimally with any logs - structured and/or unstructured (aka plaintext logs) - out of the box. - It accepts logs from all the popular log collectors and shippers - see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion... , so you can try it alongside the existing database for logs, without significant changes in your setup. - It needs up to 30x less RAM than Elasticsearch for the same amounts of logs, while providing the same performance for full-text search. - It needs up to 15x less disk space for storing the ingested logs than Elasticsearch. - It provides easy yet powerful and fast query language for typical log analysis tasks, including analytical tasks - LogsQL. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/logsql/ - It is optimized for storing and querying wide events (aka logs with hundreds of high-cardinality fields). - It provides an excellent integration with traditional command-line tools such as grep, awk, less, tail, etc. See https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/querying/#comm... - It provides tools for generating metrics and alerts from the ingested logs - see https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/vmalert/ - It is optimized for efficient storing and querying large volumes of logs (e.g. tens of terabytes and more). Try VictoriaLogs alongside your existing solution and then decide whether it is worth switching to VictoriaLogs!
