February Big Data Meetup

This month we're going to be putting on Yanick's presentation about InfluxDB which was delayed from January. We'll also have some pizza and beer at CanvasPop, and then head to the Royal Oak for open discussion.

In case you missed the description of Yanick's talk last time:

InfluxDB, as described in its official blurb, is "an open source
database written in Go specifically to handle time series data with high
availability and high performance requirements. InfluxDB installs in
minutes without external dependencies, yet is flexible and scalable
enough for complex deployments."

InfluxDB is already a nifty thing. But in addition of the database
itself, there is a small ecosystem of tools to help build up a
monitoring/reporting/alerting system.

The talk will be a gentle hands-on introduction to InfluxDB and those
peripheral tools (Grafana, Telegraf, Chronograf, Kapacitor).
