title: Usecases: InfluxDB vs. Prometheus
body: <p>Following the <a href="http://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/comparison/">Prometheus webpage</a> one main difference between Prometheus and InfluxDB is the usecase: while Prometheus stores time series only InfluxDB is better geared towards storing individual events. Since there was some major work done on the storage engine of InfluxDB I wonder if this is still true. </p>
  
  <p>I want to setup a time series database and apart from the push/push model (and probably a difference in performance) I can see no big thing which separates both projects. Can someone explain the difference in usecases? </p>
