I've been running infxludb 0.9 + heka 0.9.x + grafana 2.x stack in a production environment for over a month. Mostly successful, although I find the grafana tooling for building queries to be a bit weak. I think there are improvements coming soon to address this, though. Overall, influx performance seems to be pretty good although we aren't ingesting enough data to say anything really concrete. We also make use of continuous queries to aggregate our time series, which of course makes large-interval queries more efficient.

Indeed, database vendors should aim to have their software "Jepsen certified".

FWIW, I've found running supervisord for all containerized apps with a log redirect to a host-mounted path to be a perfectly reasonable solution.

I would hate to see docker go down a path where it folds in its own logging "framework", which, I feel, would be going too far (poor separation of concerns, etc).

My favourite part about their front page is the quote at the bottom:

Yes, this is really what I mean by "over abundance". I'm suggesting that excessive application of unit test "fundamentalism" can lead to a variety of problems. A particular manifestation of what you describe as "doing something badly".

I fully agree that TDD has turned into a cargo cult obsession for many developer shops. The benefits of unit tests are usually for the developer, but in over abundance can lead to inflexibility and debt when your system needs to change.
