InfluxData is an open-source software project that captures and analyzes massive amounts of time-based data, providing a platform for developers to focus on implementing solutions while handling the heavy lifting of collecting, storing, and analyzing data, now including support for running serverless code. InfluxDB offers a powerful language called Flux, which enables users to work with data where it resides, both within InfluxDB and other data sources such as MySQL, MariaDB, and Postgres. A concrete example using Flux can help unlock its power for specific use cases, and InfluxData provides resources, including training and community forums, to support developers in exploring and utilizing Flux.
