#3Nice to see, this has felt like a gap in cloud offerings for a while... and the open source options have difficulties.
From the little that was said, going to guess this uses something like Beringei (https://code.fb.com/core-data/beringei-a-high-performance-ti...) under the hood

#9Honest question: when dealing with time-series data, do you actually need every data point? Is that level of granularity really necessary?
