InfluxDB

InfluxDB is a purpos-built time series database. Version 3.0 (IOx) is a complete rewrite in Rust, using Parquet/Arrow for massive performance gains.

When to Use

• High-Velocity Time-Series Ingestion: Ingesting continuous metrics, sensor telemetry, system diagnostics, and financial tick data.
• Downsampling & Data Retention Policies: Automatically aggregating high-resolution raw data into long-term rollups while purging raw logs.
• IoT & Sensor Monitoring: Storing time-indexed metrics from IoT hardware, energy grids, and manufacturing sensors.
• DevOps Infrastructure Observability: Collecting server and container performance metrics via Telegraf and visualizing in Grafana.

Quick Start

InfluxDB 3.0 supports SQL!
