Influx is so good for hobby-level projects. So good!!

For serious applications, it doesn't cut it. Trying to do more than a few TB a day is a waste of time outside of enterprise, which ain't cheap.

I plopped VictoriaMetrics in place of Influx for my cases and haven't even had a single hiccup.

As with any technology, the right tool for the job is highly dependent on what the job is.

InfluxDB may have slightly big RAM requirements when working with high number of time series [1].
