Offer Prometheus DB as stand-alone TSDB

Proposal

Sorry in advance if this is not the proper forum to submit this to but I'm wondering if I'm the only one wishing to use Prometheus purely as a stand-alone TSDB and not as monitoring platform.
You might argue that I can do that at anytime simply disregarding jobs, alerts, etc., but I don't find it as elegant as a pure stand-alone DB would be, which is why I am now using InfluxDB.

I haven't found any use case for InfluxDB that couldn't be achieved with Prometheus DB.

The TSDB is at https://github.com/prometheus/tsdb if you wish to use it.

Thanks, @brian-brazil for your reply. I am aware of the repository.
I was, however, thinking of a product itself, promoted and documented as such, with the possibility to write data points and recording rules via HTTP API, etc.
It might be out of strategic roadmap; I'm simply stating that I'd use it if it existed.

Cheers

This is not something we plan, but there's nothing stopping you from creating such a thing yourself.

Fair enough, cheers!
