I saw the writing on the wall with InfluxDB v2 (doubling down on closed platform / SaaS) and advocated exploring VictoriaMetrics, even though we had some Influx v1 running. No regrets. I also prefer the golang-esque simplicity of the Prometheus ecosystem. Monitoring is the last place I want unnecessary abstraction layers and complicated configuration files.
