InfluxDB Cloud might be the single best solution if what you want is a managed service that just works somehow.
As a time series database however it is rather painful.
You can't have InfluxDB only. It comes integrated with the complete ecosystem. For example, it exposes an app/web server by default which you can't disable.
Flux DSL is decent but so was SQL and I already knew SQL.
Shipping a database does not appear to be topping their priority list and it's kind of irritating. A year into the InfluxDB 2 release you weren't able to delete data. Now you can, but you can't be sure when that's going to actually happen. And there's no way of monitoring/managing currently running queries. Add to that its massive memory consumption and you're left wondering what other database solution would get away with this.
For personal projects I have since moved to IoTDB
