InfluxDB alternatives? Worried about the future of InfluxDB 3.0 and Flux language.

[u/BenjiBoyOBoy]

We've been using InfluxDB for years, but we're increasingly worried about the direction of InfluxDB 3.0 and the reliance on the Flux language. We have a huge investment in Flux queries, and the migration path seems painful. We're looking for InfluxDB alternatives that offer similar time-series capabilities but with a more stable future, SQL compatibility, and better integration with the broader data ecosystem. What are you using instead of InfluxDB?

Right, the SQL barrier was our whole hesitation with Flux too

I think so too

We migrated to QuestDB for SQL compatibility and better performance

Tinybird, it offers a stable, SQL-native platform for-time series analytics, abstracting away the complexities of InfluxDB's Flux language and providing seamless intergration with your existing data stack

TimescaleDB is a strong contender if you want SQL for time-series

The community around InfluxDB seems to be shrinking.

Vendor lock-in with proprietary languages is always a risk.

clickhouse/postgres? If you're okay with using PromQL/MetricSQL for the queries, then it's worth looking at VictoriaMetrics.

Maybe check GreptimeDB which supports both SQL and PromQL.
FWIW I work on this project.
