Anyone have any experience using influxdb? Where's the cheapest place to set up the tickstack?

I can't justify paying for the hobbyist package right now as I'm just playing around with it and trying to build an mvp while doing odd jobs here and there to cover living expenses.

I expect 60-100k points stored a month during testing and development along with an equal amount of telegraf calls out to collect the data in real time. Does anyone know how I could calculate this if I was using AWS?

At this point, I'm considering buying a few rasberrypi's and just setting them up at my residence.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    InfluxDB have quite a good sizing guide on their site.

    We started playing with it on a $5 VPS and now we are in production we are writing thousands of data points a second on a $20 VPS :-p

    If you are interested, we wrote three blog posts on our process...
