CSV not for production #3

Closed mvysny closed 1 year ago

mvysny commented 2 years ago

CSV can grow huge. I've seen one day worth of logging every 10 seconds; that file was 0,5mb. Multiply that by 365 and you'll get an estimated 180mb worth of yearly data.

Parsing that stuff by Grafana will definitely be slow and thus not usable in production. Let's mark CSV as for experiments-only (not for production) in the docs.
