Introduction

• InfluxData is the creator of InfluxDB, the open source time series database
• It was co-founded by Paul Dix and Todd Persen
• InfluxDB is written in the Go programming language for storage.

Technology

• Their Technology is purpose-built to handle the massive volumes of time-stamped data produced by IoT devices, applications, networks, containers and computers.
• Time series databases, as the name implies, allow companies to capture and measure data rapidly and see how it trends over time.
• The distributed NoSQL databases become a scalable solution to store and access such high volumes of duplicated information.

MVP

• The founders essentially built a time series database from scratch lusing open source components which was called Errplane.
• Errplane’s customers were looking for a solution to store, query, and process time-series data at a large scale.
• InfluxDB database is fast and scalable being able to handle high write and query loads.

Uniqueness about the tech

• Deep insights and analytics
• Faster time to awesome
• Optimized for developer productivity
• InfluxDB contains everything you need in a time series platform in a single binary.
