In their own words
VictoriaLogs
VictoriaLogs is an open-source database for storing and analyzing logs. It accepts structured and unstructured log data without requiring a schema, and LogsQL provides full-text search and log analytics. It supports log pipelines, structured parsing, live tailing, archive export, OpenTelemetry, and a service map. Deployment can be single-node or clustered, using prebuilt binaries, Docker, or Kubernetes. The single-node and cluster versions are available under the Apache License 2.0, and the open-source plan is free. By default, entries older than seven days are dropped. Integrations include Grafana, Perses, Bindplane, and Logchef; ingestion from Vector and Fluent Bit is also described. VictoriaMetrics says the system uses up to 30 times less RAM and up to 15 times less disk space than Elasticsearch and Grafana Loki. HTTPS, Basic Auth, and TLS are supported; security guidance recommends a trusted network or an authorization proxy for internet requests. mTLS is an Enterprise feature, with commercial support also offered.
