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.
You should be able to get much better value with a self-managed solution.
For instance, the server at <https://galene.org:8443> is running on a "Value" OVH VPS (<https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/vps/>) which is rented for under 6€/month. During lockdown, It was regularly used for lectures with 70 students or so, but that's an unfair comparison, since students tend to keep their camera off during the lecture.
I have been running Jitsi Meet (https://meet.jit.si/) for a little over a year[1] for a group of friends to do their monthly meetings during the COVID times, and tried this out a little while ago.
I liked it, but there is still a fair amount of assemby required, and I hope they get it to the point where (like Jitsi) everything is a docker-compose away.
