Release list
EsMetrics v1.146.0
First release of EsMetrics — a secure, fast, memory-safe time-series database in Rust by Softalink LLC. A from-scratch implementation of VictoriaMetrics single-node (tracking upstream v1.146.0) that outperforms the Go original on every TSBS benchmark metric, on both Linux and Windows, while answering queries byte-for-byte identically.
Benchmark headlines
TSBS cpu-only, scale 100 (8.64M metrics), 4 workers, medians of 3 paired back-to-back rounds against the official VictoriaMetrics v1.146.0 release binaries. Full methodology and raw data: benchmarks/results.
Ingestion
| platform | Go v1.146.0 | EsMetrics | delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linux (4 cores) | 3.59M metrics/s | 5.14M metrics/s | +43% |
| Windows 11 (8 cores, MSVC build) | 2.99M metrics/s | 4.95M metrics/s | +66% |
Queries — all 10 TSBS devops types faster
| Linux | Windows (MSVC) | |
|---|---|---|
| mean latency vs Go | −11% to −59% | −52% to −82% |
| heaviest query (double-groupby-all, mean) | 69.0 → 49.7 ms | 102.4 → 40.9 ms |
| lightest query (single-groupby-1-1-1, mean) | 0.37 → 0.33 ms | 0.45 → 0.20 ms |
Correctness
750 TSBS queries replayed against both servers on identical data: byte-identical responses. ~600 tests ported from the upstream Go suites run on Linux and native Windows in CI.
Highlights
- Drop-in compatible: Influx line protocol ingestion (
/write), Prometheus HTTP query API (/api/v1/query_range,query,series,labels,export); flags mirror VictoriaMetrics single-node - Memory-safe by construction — no GC pauses, deterministic cleanup, no
unsafeshortcuts on data paths - Single small static binary: 9 MB Linux, 4 MB Windows (MSVC), no runtime dependencies
- First-class Windows: benchmarked and tested on physical Windows hardware; version metadata and icon embedded in the executable
