About:
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database designed to handle high write and query loads for metrics and events. It features a custom query language (Flux and InfluxQL) and is optimized for real-time analytics and monitoring. Its ecosystem includes Telegraf for data collection and Grafana for visualization.
Key Features:
  • High-performance time series storage
  • Custom query languages (InfluxQL and Flux)
  • Scalable with clustering and retention policies
  • Integrated data collection via Telegraf
Use Cases:
  • Infrastructure and application monitoring
  • Real-time analytics for IoT sensor data
  • Metrics storage for DevOps observability
Alternatives:
  • Prometheus – Prometheus is pull-based and focuses on metrics, while InfluxDB is push-based and handles a broader range of time series data.
  • TimescaleDB – TimescaleDB is a PostgreSQL extension offering SQL compliance, whereas InfluxDB uses a proprietary query engine optimized for time series.
