We were an early adopter of InfluxDB and ran it for almost two years. Some of our challenges: Not being able to change your DB structure (like indexed columns) after the fact. Indexes on very unique data blowing up the DB (OOM, slowdown, still even after they ‘fixed’ the cardinality problem. Performance writing data while also querying against it for analytics. We solved all these problems with timescale, use far fewer resources, are a long way away from needing a cluster, have lots of room for growth and development had sped up with devs who are already familiar with postgresql and can easily make changes.
