Influx DB clustering / HA alternatives

InfluxDB 2
1

Hello! We’ve been looking into using Influx as a time-series database and it looks great. However, one potential deal-breaker is clustering/high-availability/replication.

I did notice a couple of alternatives are available, as follows:

  1. InfluxDB Relay - GitHub - influxdata/influxdb-relay: Service to replicate InfluxDB data for high availability
  2. Replication After Ingest - Multiple Data Center Replication with InfluxDB | InfluxData

Has anyone used this options? How viable are they? Or are they more trouble than they’re worth?

Are there any other alternatives?

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

The other alternative is to pay for a Cloud (PAYG) or Enterprise version… :stuck_out_tongue:
