We used InfluxDB back in the 0.8/0.9 days and it worked really well, scaled nicely with the large number of metrics we were storing.
The switch to a tag based architecture in 1.0 completely broke the database for our use case, it could no longer handle large metric cardinality. Things improved a bit around 1.2, but never got back to something usable for us.
We ultimately moved to using clickhouse for time series data and haven't had to think about it since.
Where is influx at now? Can they handle millions of metrics again? What would bring us back?
