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 folks want to make one of these theirselves (themselves? whatever), the "home assistant glow" project makes it pretty straightforward: https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow (I can never find the link, so I might as well drop it here). It uses ESPHome + a config file + a photo-diode thingy. It's more or less the same thing with a photoresistor. The server-side works easiest with Home Assistant, but you can access the device on its own too.
