Running microVMs in Proxmox VE, The Easy Way

We’re excited to introduce opensource vmestimator, a new component in the VictoriaMetrics ecosystem.

vmestimator measures metrics cardinality across arbitrary label dimensions and exposes the results as Prometheus-compatible metrics. It helps to understand where cardinality comes from, track how it evolves over time, and build early-warning alerts before cardinality becomes a problem.

If you’re operating Prometheus-compatible monitoring systems and want realtime visibility into metric cardinality, give vmestimator a try. We’d love to hear your feedback and learn more about your use cases.

Read more about its design and configuration in the documentation, or explore it yourself in the playground.

ArcadeDB

Multi-Model Database, one DBMS that supports SQL, Cypher, Gremlin, HTTP/JSON, MongoDB and Redis. ArcadeDB is a conceptual fork of OrientDB, the first Multi-Model DBMS. ArcadeDB supports Vector Embeddings.
