Use Timescale DB for database #417

Open JakeHartnell opened 6 years ago

Maybe we should just use timescaledb for the backend database? It's built on top of PostGreSQL and replaces our need for running both MongoDB and InfluxDB.

Maybe #315 should come first to make this work easier?

We should implement this similar to how we implemented Influx... with setting an environment variable to the URL of the database. If it works well with Grafana we can have it on by default.
