12 statements about InfluxDB, every show
Freedman: Timescale outperforms vanilla Postgres, InfluxDB, and AWS Timestream
“In fact, not only is Timescale a better database for time series than vanilla Postgres, including compared to both Amazon's RDS and Aurora, but it is also better than custom-built proprietary time series databases like InfluxDB and AWS Timestream, even with th…”
SurrealDB founders relied on four databases for prior golf analytics platform
“In building this, we were building with InfluxDB, OrientDB, DynamoDB and MySQL.”
Flux turns InfluxDB into a serverless execution platform for time series
“It essentially turns the database into a serverless execution platform for time series data. The idea is you can define any sort of custom logic that you want, inject it into the database, and it will periodically run that logic over the data that you're writi…”
HFT firms use InfluxDB and atomic clocks for sub-300ns drift
“There are high frequency trading firms that use it to track latencies in their network infrastructure, and they actually have, like, atomic clocks deployed in their data centers, so they guarantee less than 300 nanoseconds of clock drift Worldwide.”
Scholnick: Trinity invested in InfluxDB and moved them to San Francisco
“I invested in InfluxDB, and I think it's a great company, but we moved them to we moved them to San Francisco.”
Go's garbage collection makes InfluxDB unsuitable for sub-millisecond trading
“This isn't, this is written in Go, so, which is a garbage collected language, so worst case response time can be worse than what you would want in that kind of setup.”
Paul Dix: InfluxDB compresses measurement names and tags into eight-byte IDs
“When you send in a measurement name and a tag set, we compress all of that down into a single ID, a single eight-byte ID.”
No open-source projects focused on time-series databases in 2013
“So we looked at the open source time series space and found that nobody was really focused on it, and it seemed like A need that was emerging.”
Dix: Most InfluxDB users use Grafana for data visualization
“And we find that most of the people using InfluxDB use this to visualize their data and create dashboards for all the data that's going into Influx.”
Dix: InfluxDB pairs a time series engine with an in-memory index
“So the InfluxDB is actually, it's kind of like two databases in one. So the time, there's the time series database, and that's useful for storing both regular and irregular time series. Regular is collected on fixed intervals, like once every 10 seconds. Irreg…”
Dix: InfluxDB operates with zero external software dependencies
“It's an open source time series database with no external dependencies.”
Dix: InfluxDB is targeting IoT consumer and industrial sensor data
“And then the last one that we're really targeting is sensor data. So this is IOT, both consumer and industrial, right? You're thinking power generation, oil and gas wells, and then on the consumer side, you know, fitness trackers to smart home stuff, all that …”
