Congrats on the decision. Standalone InfluxDB can be scaled up just fine to meet most usecases, and it's better to have the long-term project sustainability that a hosted/enterprise offering can bring to the standalone offering.
InfluxDB 0.9 still had plenty of bugs, and I'd rather see a high-quality standalone server than any not-quite-there-yet clustered version.
Agreed I would have like to have seen these bugs ironed out before the whole splashy rebranding to Influx Data or whatever they are calling themselves now and their business pivot to a "data platform." I think the timing is unfortunate.
