It shouldn't be too hard to store VictoriaMetrics' data in object storage if the storage supports the following operations: 1) Streaming writing to a file without limits on file size....

There is yet another approach for adding ability to use Object Storage as a store for VictoriaMetrics data: to write a thin layer between file API and Object Storage API,...

There should be native functionality implemented for each supported protocol. Probably https://github.com/minio/minio-go could simplify the integration.

FYI, there is [vmbackup](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/app/vmbackup/README.md) tool for full and incremental backups of VictoriaMetrics data on S3 and GCS. The tool will be included into the next VictoriaMetrics release. Now it can...

https://objectivefs.com/ looks promising for transparently storing VictoriaMetrics data on object storage such as S3, GCS or various s3-compatible on-prem systems.

[Streaming aggregation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/) is usually used as a replacement for [recording rules](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert/#recording-rules). It is important to understand that the `interval` option at [stream aggregation config](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/stream-aggregation/#stream-aggregation-config) must be equal to the `interval`...

FYI, the https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/6547 should reduce the probability of unexpectedly high [`histogram_quantile()`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/#histogram_quantile) values when streaming aggregation generates unaligned histogram buckets.
