Why did you stop using Victoria metrics and what are you using instead?

Because I left that team. :D They're still using it and are happy though.

The platform I'm currently working on uses GCP Cloud Metrics, which is all sorts of bad. Funny enough, today I was troubleshooting something on it and after a good 30-40 min of frustration I decided to ask Gemini.

Gemini not only confirmed that Cloud Metrics is incredibly bad, but it listed 5 different ways in which it's a horrible experience and why. I then added one and it went on an 6 paragraphs rant about in which ways that problem was horrible and frustrating.

I've been advocating for migrating to Victoria Metrics, and I think it's going to happen - there's too many competing priorities at the moment though, so it might take a while.
