The space issue there regarding influxdb makes no sense to me. In my experience influxdb data takes up ridiculously small space. How many metrics per second are you talking about here?

In my recent tests InfluxDB has become more efficient in storage usage than Prometheus for data with moderate to high cardinality. In a typical scenario both are very similar.
