Based on the changes in 0.9.1, there's no way that 0.9 was production ready and I'd be very cautious about using it.

"Seems to be", sure. Sinks like a tanker when you try to actually use it, though. None of the software libraries have been updated for 0.9 yet.

Can you name some examples of this besides the CPU authentication bug? Honest question, I'm considering adding InfluxDB to our stack so I'm genuinely curious.

We've had issues with Influx being a massive resource hog. Not properly persisting data to disk. They openly admit that Influx isn't built to gracefully recover from crashes, and that you will lose data.

This by itself wouldn't be a problem for us. But when you're inserting data points, the entire damn thing seems to become unresponsive. Admin UI freezing, http endpoint no longer responding to queries, ...

I know this product is relatively young and your mileage may vary. They have a long way to go.

Authentication in 0.9 has a high CPU penalty right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9810538.
