Wait for horizontal scaling
June 13, 2016 15:09
Influx doesn't currently natively support horizontal distribution. Hard to recommend it until they implement that.

InfluxDB is a game changer
tarun11ks uses MongoDB
Used MongoDB as primary database. It holds trip data of NYC taxis for the year 2013. It is a huge dataset and it's primary feature is geo coordinates with pickup and drop off locations. Also used MongoDB's map reduce to process this large dataset for aggregation. This aggregated result was then used to show visualizations.
Trello uses MongoDB
MongoDB fills our more traditional database needs. We knew we wanted Trello to be blisteringly fast. One of the coolest and most performance-obsessed teams we know is our next-door neighbor and sister company StackExchange. Talking to their dev lead David at lunch one day, I learned that even though they use SQL Server for data storage, they actually primarily store a lot of their data in a denormalized format for performance, and normalize only when they need to.
therealkevinard uses MongoDB
While the huge majority of BI data comes from 3rd-party sources, some pieces require ad-hoc sources - this is largely where Mongo comes into play. Views such as "Activity Log" need on-the-fly recordkeeping that's best manually entered; considering that fetching from a task manager API will paint an overwhelming or inaccurate picture of the month's activity.
Foursquare uses MongoDB
Nearly all of our backend storage is on MongoDB. This has also worked out pretty well. It's enabled us to scale up faster/easier than if we had rolled our own solution on top of PostgreSQL (which we were using previously). There have been a few roadbumps along the way, but the team at 10gen has been a big help with thing.
ShadowICT uses InfluxDB
We use InfluxDB as a store for our data that gets fed into Grafana. It's ideal for this as it's a lightweight storage engine that can be modified on the fly by scripts without having to log into the server itself and manage tables. The HTTP API also makes it ideal for integrating with frontend services.
AngeloR uses MongoDB
We are testing out MongoDB at the moment. Currently we are only using a small EC2 setup for a delayed job queue backed by agenda
. If it works out well we might look to see where it could become a primary document storage engine for us.
Goyoboard uses InfluxDB
To track time-series of course, utilizing few retention rules and continuous queries to keep time-series data fast and maintanable
sapslaj uses InfluxDB
InfluxDB ingests information from various sources (mostly Telegraf instances) into one place for monitoring purposes.
Kalibrr uses InfluxDB
Server and application metrics are all stored in InfluxDB for capacity planning and anomaly detection.
