About InfluxDB
InfluxDB is the leading purpose-built time series database, designed for high write throughput and real-time querying of timestamped data. Version 3.0 uses Apache DataFusion and Arrow for columnar processing.
The platform includes InfluxDB Cloud (serverless), InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated, and InfluxDB OSS for self-hosted deployments. It provides built-in dashboards, alerting, and task scheduling.
Flux query language enables powerful data transformations, while InfluxQL provides a SQL-like interface. The Telegraf agent collects metrics from 300+ plugins for infrastructure, applications, and IoT devices.
InfluxDB is commonly paired with Grafana for visualization and is a core component of the TICK stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf, Kapacitor) for time series workloads.
