Time series database solution for IT teams
About Blueflood
Blueflood is a high throughput, low latency, multi-tenant distributed metric processing system behind Rackspace Metrics, which is currently used in production by the Rackspace Monitoring team and Rackspace public cloud team to store metrics generated by their systems. In addition to Rackspace metrics, other large scale deployments of Blueflood can be found at community Wiki. Data from Blueflood can be used to construct dashboards, generate reports, graphs or for any other use involving time-series data. It focuses on near-realtime data, with data that is queryable mere milliseconds after ingestion. You send metrics to the ingestion service. You query your metrics from the Query service. And in the background, rollups are batch-processed offline so that queries for large time-periods are returned quickly.

VictoriaMetrics Cloud
VictoriaMetrics Cloud allows users to run the Enterprise version of VictoriaMetrics, hosted on AWS, without the need to perform typical DevOps tasks such as proper configuration, monitoring, log collection, access protection, software updates, and backups.
We run VictoriaMetrics Cloud instances in our environment on AWS and provide easy-to-use endpoints for data ingestion and querying. The VictoriaMetrics team takes care of optimal configuration and software maintenance.
It comes with the following features:
It can be used as a Managed Prometheus - configure Prometheus or Vmagent to write data to Managed VictoriaMetrics and then use the provided endpoint as a Prometheus data source in Grafana;
Every VictoriaMetrics Cloud instance runs in an isolated environment, so instances cannot interfere with each other;
VictoriaMetrics Cloud instance can be scaled up or scaled down in a few clicks;
Automated backups;

Prometheus
Power your metrics and alerting with a leading open-source monitoring solution. Prometheus fundamentally stores all data as time series: streams of timestamped values belonging to the same metric and the same set of labeled dimensions. Besides stored time series, Prometheus may generate temporary derived time series as the result of queries. Prometheus provides a functional query language called PromQL (Prometheus Query Language) that lets the user select and aggregate time series data in real time. The result of an expression can either be shown as a graph, viewed as tabular data in Prometheus's expression browser, or consumed by external systems via the HTTP API.
Prometheus is configured via command-line flags and a configuration file. While the command-line flags configure immutable system parameters (such as storage locations, amount of data to keep on disk and in memory, etc.).
