According to [this article](https://portavita.github.io/2018-07-31-blog_influxdb_vs_postgresql) the only real benefit influx has over postgres (using time-based indices) is space used. PostgreSQL is more performant, with time indices. Why would one use influx-db over postgresql, then? I heard from someone that aggregate functions like avg/count are faster in influx, but couldn't find any results online backing this up.
