Serverless Metrics solution

I have a ~60% complete "serverless" metrics solution, very low cost to get started, and scales indefinitely built on AWS tech. May or may not make this a hosted product or an optional part of Up (or neither).

Easily an order of magnitude more cost-effective than any other solution I've seen, even Prometheus etc running on EBS, and easier to operate since you don't have to manage any nodes, set up HA, replication etc.

So far my thing uses the same protocol as Influx, latency is still good however price, volume, simplicity of operation and query flexibility are given priority. The query engine has more in common with Elasticsearch, making it easy to return nested results etc, SQL is more appealing for simple stuff but pretty awkward when it comes to nesting.

Another possibility is a CloudWatch compatibility layer so it's a vastly more cost effective drop-in replacement.

Curious what you use already:
