InfluxDB vs. Elasticsearch for Time Series Analysis
Choosing which storage solution to use for time series data is not a straightforward task, to say the least. Today, one is almost spoilt for choice as there are some great alternatives out there, but this article attempts to shed some light on two of these solutions: Elasticsearch and InfluxDB.
Why this comparison? While InfluxDB was designed for time series data, Elasticsearch was designed for (and is mostly used for) document indexing. However, despite this design and functional disparity, Elasticsearch is used by many for time series data and we wanted to check how well these two databases perform.
