Fair enough. I'm sure InfluxDB is very good/fast at timeseries data (allthough I have to admit to not actually having tried it out so far). Still, if that was your point, consider removing these statements from the blog.

I think it would help make the point and not put the reader in a defensive position (when the statements are clearly not based on a fair comparison of the two products and will not hold under most conditions). Just my two cents.
