About:
Flux is a lightweight scripting language designed for querying, analyzing, and acting on data across one or more data sources. It provides a powerful functional framework for time-series data, offering a unified syntax for interacting with databases like InfluxDB. Its main value proposition is simplifying complex data manipulation tasks and providing a consistent query experience.

Key Features:

Functional data scripting language
Designed for time-series data
Pluggable architecture for data sources
Integrated with InfluxDB
SQL-like syntax with functional paradigms

Use Cases:

Querying time-series data from InfluxDB
Data analysis and transformation pipelines
Monitoring and alerting logic definition

Alternatives:

SQL – SQL is standard for relational data, while Flux is optimized for time-series and functional data pipelines.
PromQL – PromQL is specific to Prometheus metrics, whereas Flux supports multiple data sources and broader data manipulation.
