InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
If you're already comfortable with Pulumi, and you just want to get up and running, I've set up a GitHub repo (complete with a Deploy with Pulumi button!) that should have all you need to get going. Just click the button, set a few configs (like your RSS server's administrative password, which will be stored as an encrypted Pulumi secret), and follow the prompts. Your shiny new server should be up and running within minutes.
So a while back, after far too much time spent wandering the blogsphere manually, typing URLs into address bars by hand, I decided to go looking to see whether the universe had produced an open-source solution to this problem --- and to my surprise and delight, it had! Miniflux is an excellent little open-source RSS server and reader, written in Go and backed by PostgreSQL, that also happens to be packaged as a Docker container. So in this post, I'll show how easy it is to deploy a Miniflux server of your own on AWS, using only Pulumi and a few lines of TypeScript.
