InfluxDB System Properties

InfluxData is the creator of InfluxDB, the open source time series database. It is purpose-built to handle the massive volumes of time-stamped data produced by IoT devices and sensors, applications, containers, VMs and networks. With InfluxDB, developers can build real-time applications for IoT, analytics and cloud-native services quickly and at scale.

InfluxData is focused on developer happiness and meeting developers where they are – in their language of choice, using their preferred tools and wherever they are building applications: in the cloud, on-premises, or locally. InfluxData is also committed to helping developers get up and running faster, so they can focus on other things.

InfluxDB customers range from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises with use cases that span every industry vertical, such as consumer and industrial IoT, security, fintech, renewable energy, and more. There are currently over 750,000 daily active instances of InfluxDB OSS and over 50,000 registered developers using InfluxDB Cloud globally; the community continues to grow rapidly every year.

Time to Value

InfluxDB is available in all the popular languages and frameworks, enabling developers to get up and running in minutes, not days or weeks. With easy-to-use quickstarts and documentation, developers can build applications that are open, extensible and easy to deploy.

Community & Ecosystem

InfluxDB has the largest community of cloud and open source developers for time series database solutions. By enabling the community to contribute to and integrate with other ecosystems, InfluxDB has greater resilience, quality, usage and configurability across all use cases. Telegraf, InfluxDB’s open source collection agent, currently has more than 300 plugins that allow developers to not only read and write metrics to and from hundreds of data sources, but transform and filter these metrics as well.

Real Action in Real-Time

InfluxDB delivers visibility with real-time analytics so developers can quickly act on their data, such as identifying patterns, predicting future outcomes, and turning insights into action.

IoT & Sensor Monitoring

Developers are witnessing the instrumentation of every available surface in the material world – from machines to humans. These devices and sensors are generating unprecedented volumes of data and software needs to scale to meet this demand. Developers using InfluxDB can harness the insights data provides in the context of time, enabling them to identify and anticipate trends over time, ensuring mission-critical processes are more consistent, efficient and reliable.

DevOps Monitoring & Tools for Developers

Emerging trends such as microservices, containerization, elastic storage, Software Defined Networking, API performance, Auth failures, Hybrid clouds, etc., all keep pushing the boundaries of what constitutes DevOps Monitoring and tooling for devs. The number of endpoints and the variety of metrics that need monitoring force a reconsideration of the one-size-fits all mentality. Modern DevOps monitoring and DevTools need to be flexible enough to handle unique application and infrastructure metrics on a common framework.

Real-Time Analytics

The volume of metrics and events is beyond what any human is able to realistically interpret and take action. Machine learning with real-time analytics is crucial in finding the signal from the noise. Whether the organization needs real-time analytics to buy and sell equities, perform predictive maintenance on a machine before it fails, adjust prices based on customer behavior: processing, analyzing and acting on the time series data in real-time is the problem to solve.

InfluxData has more than 1,900 paying customers, including customers include MuleSoft, IBM, PayPal, Siemens, Tesla.
