Yes, you read that right. Enterprise-grade time-series database. In my basement. For free. Because enough homelab enthusiasts asked for it and InfluxData actually listened. This blog post exists because of their generosity, and I am eternally grateful.</p> <h2 id="the-dream-one-database-to-rule-them-all"> The Dream: One Database to Rule Them All <a href="#the-dream-one-database-to-rule-them-all" class="heading-anchor" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1">#</a> </h2> <p>Before this revamp, my observability was&hellip; scattered.
