We use influxdb as well at http://www.dnsperf.com http://www.dnsperf.com
No issues so far except of course the initial difficulty correctly setting up the tables and continuous queries.
The main problem for us is that clustering is available only to the enterprise version which is way too expensive for a small self funded company like ours. I wish they offered more options without any support and a big discount.
- pauldix 9y agoFor smaller users or cases we generally suggest InfluxCloud, our offering in AWS, which uses the clustering. Did you look into that?
- jimaek 9y agoYes but again it's too expensive to support our data. We rent servers with 16threads 128gb ram and 250ssd ssd raid for ~$100/month. The cloud option would cost thousands for the same resources. I understand that small customers like us are not interesting to bigger USA companies. But it's still something I wish was possible
- hemantv 9y agoI loved InfluxDB early in 2014 (I used it at Postmates for internal metrics). It's very bad you guys killed high availability feature but understand the business requirements.
- marknadal 9y agoHey, we make clustering and high-availability part of our system for free, very openly licensed as MIT/ZLIB/Apache2. Check it out, 7.5K+ stars - https://github.com/amark/gun https://github.com/amark/gun , we view clustering/availability as a core necessary feature of any database and not some "optional" or "enterprise" thing, and written some pretty serious articles about it back when RethinkDB and Parse shut down, which was about the same timing as when InfluxDB removed it: https://hackernoon.com/the-implications-of-rethinkdb-and-parse-shutdowns-c076460058f7 https://hackernoon.com/the-implications-of-rethinkdb-and-par... .
- tyldum 9y agoFor us the problem is that we have been talking to influx sales for over 6 months to get a quote for those features, however it is just a never-ending interview process to determine how much we are willing to pay. We are looking at other options at this point.
- wildchild 9y agoYour influx cloud pricing is exorbitant because ifluxdb is a slow piece of incompetence multiplied by exorbitant AWS prices.
