If you are writing an article about time series databases, and you don't mention KDB - straight to jail. It is the grandfather of time series and predates influx by about a decade. It is still the fastest out there too. It is used by about every major financial and trading institution in the US and Europe. Everybody thinks TSDB are something new-ish, but they've been around since the days of APL. All you youngins dis…

kdb is mentioned. Possible it was added after your comment in the last 30 mins, but the article is about open source not proprietary.
EDIT: yeah that sentence is new. I think some of the sentences around Influx being the "first" have been adjusted too now saying it is the first "mainstream" and called other db's niche. it's also a little off. KDB+ is more popular in large banks and trading firms than HFT places.
I'm using VictoriaMetrics (VM) to store basic weather data, like temperature and humidity. My initial setup was based on Prometheus however it seemed very hard to set a high data retention value, default was something like 15 days if I recall correctly. Since I would actually like to store all recorded values permanently, I could partially achieve this with VM which let me set a higher threshold, like 100 years. Stil…
Why would you use this instead of CH if your usecase is metrics?

Maybe Influx took off in a way these prior projects didn't, but people have been storing time series data for decades.
InfluxDB is open source ( https://github.com/influxdata ) and seems to be leader by far as per DBEngines ranking : https://db-engines.com/en/ranking/time+series+dbms
Previously InfluxDB was Open Core, with very crippled Community version (ie High Availability was Enterprise only)
