I’m surprised no one has brought up Splunk in here (that I could see at a cursory glance). They manage to do time-series storage on a pretty large scale (over 5PB/day for their largest customer).

I wouldn't really say that splunk is time-series in the same way they wanted. It's mainly logs indexing, but not the kind of aggregation you'd want from numeric, labelled metrics.

  > aggregation you'd want from numeric, labelled metrics. We use it exactly for this, works great.

    Do you use the new metrics store? I just learned they have one now in the new versions.

      No we don't use metrics store.

        That doesn't really sound like a cost effective way of doing metrics... The amount of data you license from splunk is likely quite expensive compared to a dedicated metrics system, right?
