I have searched for it in many blogs, but it seems all the blogs present a biased view. I myself am having a little bias towards Prometheus now, However, i did not find any good article which explains a use case of Prometheus for sensor data.
In my case, we manufacture IoT devices and we have a lot of data coming in. Till now we have been using MongoDB for everything, but now I want to switch to a time-series database, but I am really confused, whether I can choose Prometheus or not.
I am comfortable writing my own metric converter which can convert my sensor data into Prometheus metrics format (If something doesn't exist already)
I think i found it. Its Victoria Metrics. Haven't seen something as amazing as VM. First thing, it supports both Prometheus and Influx DB Write protocol(not just these, it supports some other time series database protocols also) and supports query language similar to prometheus. It has Vm Agent whose multiple instances we can run easily. It has cluster support and performance-wise, nothing like it.
