* Q: _How does VictoriaMetrics compare to other clustered TSDBs with [PromQL](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/) support such as [M3 from Uber](https://eng.uber.com/m3/), [Thanos](https://github.com/improbable-eng/thanos), [Cortex](https://github.com/cortexproject/cortex), etc.?_
A: VictoriaMetrics is simpler, faster and provides [useful extensions for PromQL](ExtendedPromQL). The simplicity is twofold:
- It is simpler for our clients - just copy-n-paste URLs for [Prometheus remote_write API](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#%3Cremote_write%3E) and [Grafana datasource for Prometheus](http://docs.grafana.org/features/datasources/prometheus/) and that's it! There is no more headache about replication, backups, scalability and capacity planning for Prometheus local storage.

There is no more headache about management, replication, backups, scalability and capacity planning for Prometheus local storage or third-party [sidecars](https://github.com/improbable-eng/thanos/blob/master/docs/components/sidecar.md).
- VictoriaMetrics has simpler architecture, which means less bugs and more useful features in a long run comparing to competing TSDBs.
