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.

We've been expecting this for two years. It was just a matter of when. It validates our space. AWS did this to Elastic, they have competing products with NewRelic, Splunk, SumoLogic, and countless others. All of whom still have healthy businesses. Our goal remains the same: build the best possible product that optimizes for developer productivity and happiness. And open source as much as we possibly can while maintai…

This is not cheap for the "DevOps" use case. Imagine you have 1000 servers submitting data to 100 timeseries each minute. That's 100,000 writes a minute (unless they support batch writes across series) At $0.50 per million writes that's $72 a day or $26k a year. Now imagine you want to alert on that data. Say you have 100 monitors that each evaluate 1GB of data once a minute. At $10 per TB of data scanned, that's $1,…

Well, that depends on what you consider cheap. Hiring someone to manage a time series system like graphite or prometheus is going to cost you a whole lot more than $26k a year

At my day job, I build a lot of machine learning systems that require data to be fed in a time series manner[1]. Often this means building systems to analyze terabytes of logs [semi]-realtime. All I have to say is - thank god! This is going to make my job a lot easier, and likely empower us to remove our current infrastructure setup. I know at one point we actually considered building our own time series database. In…

I wouldn't jump the gun on this. I've been working within Amazon cloud for years and every year they make massive claims about new services at re:invent. Not saying this isn't going to be a good product, just saying it will probably take a while to be as useful as you're hoping.

So what will this compare wrt boundary, signalfx, stackdriver, etc types of previous services... Ill have to go look into this, because if aws historic pricing for any large volume stream, quickly becomes untennable. Its very easy to have gobs and gobs of time series points... aws might make using this way too expensive for anything at relative scale for a small startup?
