This is unsurprisingly a VictoriaMetrics post that frames the history in a narrow way to talk favorably about VictoriaMetrics.


Conveniently forgetting to mention any of the other big Open Source players in the field. Cortex, Graphite, Mimir, Thanos, M3, TimescaleDB.


Could be worse.

I remember when a bunch of WSO2 contribs broke off, made their own (AGPL) ESB, and created a 'ESB Performance' website that cherry picked specific scenarios to make WSO2 look worse than their product.

This was made funnier because the 'consultant' (really a buddy of management that used us as an experiment for all sorts of things, at least the code was readable, learned lots of languages fixing things lol) wound up having us go with the AGPL product, and it wasn't until I said to the team 'hey, lets try using the WSO2 docs as a cross reference' before we got productive.

I do miss the 'dramatic readings' of UltraESB docs, learned a colleague understood Pashto [0].

[0] - After a specific 'verse', the colleague pointed out one of the odd phrases in the docs that prompted this practice, was a colloquialism in that language.
