Influx alternatives for sub 100G data?
Influx HA cluster pricing is very expensive for our data size, which is sub 100G data. For a 3 node cluster, influx is charging $18,000 per annum.

We really like influx and heavily use the dimensioning feature in the TSD. Are there any influx like alternatives that are cheaper? I am willing to allocate $3,000 - $5,000 dollars (per annum) for this.
- omn1 11y agoFirst question: Do you really need a cluster? We were running InfluxDB with a lot more data and ran on a single node. A single machine is surprisingly scalable. If you are positive that you need a cluster, here are my suggestions: * Recently Elasticsearch has become a lot better at time series data, so it might be worth a try. * My second bet would be Cassandra. Look at these slides for more info: http://de.slideshare.net/patrickmcfadin/time-series-with-apache-cassandra-long-version http://de.slideshare.net/patrickmcfadin/time-series-with-apa... Not sure if this is supported by Grafana, though. * Another one would be Prometheus which also works with Grafana. Personally I'm not a big fan of its query language. Also clustering support is pretty limited there (and mostly needs to be handled by the client).
- ramanathanrv 11y agoHigh availability is the main requirement. Since we are running our hosts in AWS, we are sure that the host(s) running influx would go down certainly few times a year. Will look more into Cassandra. Since it scales really well, it could well be worth investing time and money.
