There is at least one basic factual error in this blog post, which makes me discount the whole thing.
"But if you will use it, keep in mind that [InfluxDB] uses Bolt as its data backend."
Simply not true. The author seems to have confused the storage that Raft consensus uses for metadata with that used for the time series data. InfluxDB has its own custom data storage layer for time series data, and has had so for many years. A simple glance at the InfluxDB docs would make this clear.
(I was once part of the core database team at InfluxDB and have edited my comment for clarity.)
