kdb+ vs. VictoriaMetrics Community

kdb is well suited for real time tick data and time series analytics.

Best suited, where your data is highly cardinal since it does a better job at maintaining it than other competitors. It is also well suited if you are using Prometheus and are looking for something that is less hungry for resources in comparison since the migration would be easier. But in case the company is small and wants a solution which is cheap and relies on built-in visualizations, it is not something that is suited. Although it takes fewer resources than Prometheus, it is still resource-intensive and attracts a high cost for maintenance.

• Time series analysis. The built-in vector operations are extremely fast. Also with the q language you can code up any customized analytical ideas quickly.
• The database are all file based, very easy to maintain.
• Very solid and fast interface to websocket, so you can interface with javascript easily.

• Community and Eco system -> Although it supports the ecosystem of Prometheus, it is still troublesome for someone who's not using Prometheus
• Configuration is not so easy, especially if you are a beginner, you will struggle a bit. Even the documentation is not so welcoming for beginners
• Built-in Visualisation is bare minimal, leading almost everyone to use some other extension/tool

Python is very commonly used for large data analysis and in general is much easier to pickup than kdb+. The biggest drawback of kdb+ is the learning curve.

Prometheus only support PromQL and it is very complex with different exporter required for different requirement like Windowsexporter,linixexporter,sqlexporter etc but VictoriaMetrics is very simple comapred to it. VictoriaMetrics support both PromQL and MetricQL and can be integrated with Graphana easily. It is very easy to setup and learn compared to mutiple Prometheus exporters

• It perfectly solves most of our real time tick data needs.
• Finding good kdb resources is slightly difficult. Also new people trying to learn kdb experience a relatively longer learning curve.
