Back to the Future of Time Series Data

Live demo uses InfluxDB + .NET + Grafana with line protocol, nanosecond timestamps and batch writes (20 points per cycle, 5s loop) to show writing high-throughput metrics and dashboarding. Queries use time bucketing and tight time filters to turn scans that could take minutes into ~600 ms. High‑cardinality is tamed by keeping high-cardinality fields as values, structured tag hierarchies and pre-aggregation, and multi‑tier retention; full demo + code on GitHub.
