You could use the in-memory recording and poll and clear
out the old data with python.   I don't know how well
that would work, depending on scale.  I tend to favor
relational databases and would lean toward using
sqlite if you're looking for "simple".  (And Postgres
for everything else.)

You are collecting tabular data, which RDBMSs excel at.
