What's Good
Apache-2.0 Community. PromQL-ish queries, single-node and cluster, high ingest, drop-in remote_write target. Cheap long retention vs default Prometheus TSDB.
The Catch
Storage/metrics engine - not Grafana/SigNoz APM UI. Downsampling, anomaly detection (vmanomaly), and advanced multi-tenant stats/rate-limit bits are Enterprise. Distinct from Prometheus encyclopedia and SigNoz all-in-one.
Verdict
Apache-2.0 Prom-compatible TSDB. CE free; downsampling/anomaly/multi-tenant Enterprise.
