Ask HN: Advice on time-series database shortlist

1 pointsby petecooper9 months ago
I&#x27;m using Netdata on some small-scale servers, and I&#x27;m considering the pros and cons of adding a time-series database into the mix for longer-term logging.<p>I have zero experience with time-series databases, and the list of compatible engines is rather overwhelming at this stage:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learn.netdata.cloud&#x2F;docs&#x2F;exporting-metrics&#x2F;exporting-quickstart#supported-databases<p>I&#x27;m running Debian 12 on Hetzner &amp; DigitalOcean, so I can remove the Azure- and AWS-focussed items on that list. I don&#x27;t use Docker or other containers in production, so I can go through &#x27;Guess Who?&#x27; style and remove some more potentials, but beyond that I&#x27;m not sure how best to proceed aside from &#x27;learning by doing&#x27;.<p>Given the list of vendors, products &amp; connection methods - and factoring in your experiences - are there any you&#x27;d recommend shortlisting, or alternatively giving a wide berth?<p>Thank you.
