Sound advice. I didn't mean to go to the SQL vs. NoSQL war zone and I have nothing against SQL DB's. All I wanted to say is that I find the current Redis solution easier to implement than the [clumsy] one I did in the past.

Yeah no worries! I didn't imply you meant that :) Like I said I use redis timeseries exactly like you.

The pros are that it's very easy to setup etc (no schema definition, very practical API, easy to query), the cons are that you are limited by the memory space (but like you wrote, not an issue in your cases) and that it's harder to make more elaborated reports.

But I use both techniques depending on the needs.

Thanks for taking the time to write this!
