Boston Time Series Meetup at Wayfair`
The Boston Time Series Meetup at Wayfair was a successful event with around 45 attendees despite severe thunderstorms in the area. The meetup featured talks by Jim Hagan from Wayfair, who discussed their environment and data pipeline using Graphite and InfluxDB, and Ryan Betts from InfluxData, who provided an update on InfluxDB Internals and the unique characteristics of Time Series Databases. Wayfair's use of both platforms to collect, deliver, and analyze metrics from over 2,000 VMs running hundreds of applications was highlighted as a key aspect of their operations. The event also included discussions on next-generation pipelines using Kafka and Telegraf streaming service, and upcoming talks by Ben Bianchi of Wayfair and Jacob Lisi from Grafana.
