I think the parent may have meant the opposite of how you interpreted it... That writing a tsd db from scratch doesn't match what you just stated about investing engineering time where it makes the most sense.
- i0exception 7y agoWe don't run a TSDB. A TSDB doesn't work for the kinds of queries we run - specifically, TSDBs don't work if you want to * analyze every datapoint you receive * when the dimensional cardinality is high * you want to analyze behaviors over time (e.g. the output depends on the orders of events followed - like creating a funnel report) There's no off-the-shelf solution that does this at the scale at which we operate - hence the need to write our own custom solution.
