We had applications where we were tracking guests in a venue through various means. We tried a number of queuing systems to manage the flood of events, but they'd all fall over. I'll love to run my old "venue simulator" through this and see if it can stand up to actual guest load as they walk around, ride, purchase things.

Very cool, I'll check this out!

It's a quirky piece of software and has limitations that need to be considered when standing up a production cluster- such as you cannot reshard it currently. If you have a 3 node cluster, it's messy and requires downtime to add another node.

Still a bit messy, but the clickhouse-copier utility helps a bit: https://github.com/yandex/ClickHouse/issues/2579

It's got to be a rough day for the team at https://www.influxdata.com/ . This could become serious competition for their InfluxCloud hosted offering.

At what point are open source projects going to change their licensing to prevent the major cloud providers from just stealing their products? I highly doubt AWS built this from scratch. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are going to choke the life out of these projects

Redis and MongoDB at least seem to have woken up

I have open issues about it on GitHub. It does not work correctly at this time. If you dig through the issues, there are statements by the devs saying the tool has been neglected.

Where can I see your keynote-notes/updates?

I don’t usually do that, I just share my thoughts as comments on HN. There’s enough people doing that other stuff. :)

So.... whats your biggest takeaway thus far then? ;-)

EDIT: Is mobot a dead project?

Seems like this could be a great remote storage backend for Prometheus.

Oh yeah! Would that need a custom storage peovider in Prometheus?

Yes [0]. I haven't had time to fully look into the details. But from looking at the existing integration -- it would be fantastically convenient to have something cloud native [1].

Why not? InfluxDB does not have these capabilities.
